I don't know whether that service uses DOCSIS standard modems or
something else. Certainly the cable itself is full-duplex (that is
both-ways, simultaneous).

ANYWAY, most cable modems I have seen connect to the customer equipment
(PC, router, hub, whatever) using an Ethernet connection. Ethernet is
half-duplex. (Either way, but not simultaneous.)
