I have Spectrum here in the southeast of the United States. My plan is 300 down 12 up. That pathetic upload speed needs to change for the better.
Comment on FCC to propose a minimum 100mbps to qualify as broadband, with a future goal of 1gbps
vividspecter@lemm.ee 1 year agoMost plans are 1 up even with 100 down
That can’t be right. I thought Australia’s 100/20 plans had pathetic upload but that’s unreal.

Here in Sweden most people have optic fiber with AT LEAST 100/100 speeds. You gotta try if you want lower than that / if you want asymmetrical speeds.

Central Europe. 300 mbps is pretty much base, not much pricier than 100mbps. If you get 300 mbps on paper, you are entitled to it fully. Not sure how with rural as they are based on mobile internet more.
Data cap is abstract concept for wired internet here, I was literally shocked to hear it is in place in USA :|

Most broadband access in the US is via coax. And the coax companies refuse to let cable TV, and the packages they can bundle, die. So the portion of the coax that would allow for symmetrical service instead brings all the channels you didn’t buy because everyone streams now.
