    I really wish symmetric broadband was standard. Having 500 down (as a homelabber especially) means nothing if you have only 25 up 😭

      Same boat here with Comcast. I would gladly give up some of the 800Mbps download to increase the 12Mbps upload speed I'm getting.

          We don’t throttle to our company-owned Speedtest servers though so we can disprove you when claiming we are not offering you peak speeds.

        DOCSIS 4.0 makes that a reality. Your connection will reallocate your available bandwidth between upload and download dynamically as needed.

      Homelabber here, stuck in Comcast hell with 10Mbps upload.

      I wish I could afford to bring the local municipal fiber to my house, but to go like 2 city blocks with it would be tens of thousands of dollars. :(

      I'm considering a local colocation/ datacenter to move my homelab to. But then it wouldn't be a homelab anymore

          Would need to convince a local business down there to support it, but it's not a terrible idea.

          But it is a terrible situation that this is the length people need to go to to work around Comcast / DOCSIS lopsided networking.

      Spectrum? I've got the same plan. Sucks because I have trouble streaming my Plex server outside of my apartment. And when I work from home uploads take forever.

      Was definitely a big factor in going from Comcast to ATT (symmetric)in my area. Although Comcast has gotten faster too.
