CableLabs recently published data indicating that around 63% of American Households can take advantage of gigabit internet speeds. Because of technology specifications like DOCSIS 3.1, cable providers and operators have been able to increase the number of sites that they can provide these types of services to.

Cable operators including Charter and Comcast seem to be benefiting the most from these high speeds as the bulk of gigabit availability lies within their footprints.

CableLabs’ Director of Technology policy had the following to say: “Cable’s deployment of high-capacity broadband networks is enabling the gigabit services of today and the symmetric multi-gigabit services of tomorrow. “With the wide availability of gigabit service and beyond, the broadband infrastructure is in place to power emerging technologies that will transform and enhance our lives through immersive entertainment, next-generation healthcare and a reimagination of education and work.”
