We need more places offering the same upload as download so people can do these things from home. Here I know spectrum only offers like 10mb upload even if you’ve got like 3gb download.
You need a new modem that supports the higher upload speed protocol. And having a DOCSIS 3.1 isn't enough... it has to be a DOCSIS 3.1 that supports the new protocols. I had to switch to a Hitron CODA because my Netgear CM1000 wasn't enough anymore
most consumers don't need upload speeds. they aren't uploading anything. most people's internet traffic is like 99.9% streaming videos at this point.
Everyone with a cloud backup for anything needs a decent upload speed or it takes days to complete a backup
Yes, so? So it’s fine to for literally no reason forcibly limit it? Just because old people don’t need 1tb phones doesn’t mean we should just make all iPhones 256mb phones.
