    Yeah, I have 1.2 Gbps from Comcast for $80, plus another $30 for unlimited data, so $110 total. Upload is still only 35 Mbps. It’s ridiculous but there’s no other options.

      Fiber or cable? ISPs are total dicks, but with cable they at least have the excuse that the asymmetry is a consequence of the technology.

        Cable. We have DOCSIS 3.1, which supports 10Gbps down and 1Gbps up. 35 Mbps up on a DOCSIS 3.1 network is atrocious.

          For 35 up, if it were an actual limitation and not entirely artificial, I would have guessed 3.0 with a 2-channel bond and some terrible noise. But on DOCSIS 3.1 that excuse goes out the window, and yeah, that’s absolutely atrocious.
