Can anybody explain how the cascode transistor is used to reduce the effect of miller capacitance and increase the bandwidth?

In a cascode, the lower transistor is a common-emitter voltage to current converter. Its collector has a variable current, not a variable voltage so its Miller negative feedback is extremely low.

The upper transistor operates in the common-base mode so its base is grounded and stops negative feedback in the capacitance from its collector to its base from forming.
