Comcast doesn’t give you dedicated bandwidth. Their spectrum is a limited commodity just like starlink. Lots of similarities actually.


True. But a very large number of dedicated physical transmission lines (ie, coaxial cable) allows you to re-use the same spectrum over and over for different groups. While propagating radio waves in free space means that everyone in line of sight has to share the one single spectrum.
