Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions

  It’s not only upload (I’m so lucky living in France) but CORS, DNS and other stuff that de-decentralise things IMO.

  I’m so tired of my 40Mbps upload speeds. Why can I get 1.2Tbps down, but only 40Mbps up? It’s crazy.

    Because that’s literally the minimum upload speed they can give you. If you’re pulling down data at 1.2Gbps, you’ll be sending back 40Mbps in response traffic. If they could give you less, they would.

      I actually only go for the 400Mbps plan, and it’s 40Mbps up across all of their plans. I believe it’s some outdated hardware limitation of cable or something, at least that’s what I’ve heard.

  It’s not just speed, CGNAT is a near complete “fuck you” to self-hosting. You can work around it with a VPN endpoint “in the cloud”, but that still means you are reliant on someone else’s computer.

  most consumers don’t need upload speeds.

    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.

    Everyone with a cloud backup for anything needs a decent upload speed or it takes days to complete a backup

    Well the rest (0.1%) needs good upload speed for their home servers. /s

    Companies with lots of traffic certainly needs fast uplinks.

    So upload speeds are not irrelevant and needs to accompany downloads speed for the health of the Internet infrastructure, as it trickles down to the households eventually.

  At least where I’m at, Spectrum also blocks a lot of ports. Can’t even use FTP!

  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
