Don't you need a lot of upload speed for Plex etc to work?

If you have fiber, 99% of the time your speeds are symmetric.

Yea sadly I have fiber at 100down and 10 up. And from what I can tell, I need faster upload to stream anything to anyone. And yes, this is the best option available.

That can't be considered fibre than can it? Fibre is generally 1gup/down atleast in my city.

Fibre is just the medium of transmission, the ISPs can throttle it however they want.

I saw the actual fiber spools they rolled out. It's a fiberoptic cable. I just live out in the country and the other option is LTE4. The DSL company basically quit selling it, and it was slower than LTE4.

Depends. For example a large ISP will have generous up/down speeds within the same city for customers on its own infrastructure so maybe that helps. You can of course transcode to less quality.
