 Speeds of 65 terabits per second have been observed.Although the name "modem" is seldom used in this case, modems are also used for high-speed home networking applications, especially those using existing home wiring.One example is the G.hn standard, developed by ITU-T, which provides a high-speed (up to 1 Gbit/s) local area network using existing home wiring (power lines, phone lines and coaxial cables).
