In theory, by increasing the frequency to 500mhz, Bell was able to run 10gbps in runs of 30 meters or less, and 1gbps in runs of 70 meters or less.
A short distance, to be fair, but this will be useful for last mile runs, where we already have fiber running to a prim for the neighborhood, and from there it's standard RJ11 lines to each home or business. Ring any bells? This is how many DSL providers are run, including ATT. The current limit for those last mile RJ11 runs are anywhere from 30 to 300 mbps, depending on how close you are to the prim, and what frequency the service is using on those lines.

Now, this is not a substitute for fiber. We still need fiber on the last mile to every home and business. However, for the time being, it could be an alright bandaid fix if it's adopted.

You mean RJ45 right? RJ11 is the telephone lines.
Besides the point, I current get 24MBPs/d from Cox but only get about 1MBPs-3MBPs on my actual computer. Never completely understood why. I think a speed bump will be more likely if this were to become more of a standard. See how copper is cheaper then the fiber.
I know what rj11 is. Yes, it is normal telephone wire.
Ever heard of dsl?
This technology I think would only apply to twisted wire pair, aka rj11. What cox uses is coax, or tv cable.
and we can already do 10g on rj45, we have been able to for some time now.
^^^^ precisely.
Test using mbps, not mb/s
bits vs bytes. Huge difference.
