We really need some upstream minimums as well. That causes so much lag for me. Most plans are 1 up even with 100 down. I have a 200/10 plan now and it's difficult to do work with the maybe 5 that I get in practice if I'm lucky, especially after overhead from VPN.

How is this possible? Most of network hardware is symmetric. It doesn't make sense.

Cable Internet / DOCSIS splits bandwidth in a way that greatly prioritizes download over upload.

Doesn't DOCSIS 4.0 support 10gbps down and 6gbps up?

[–] mild_deviation@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

The biggest benefit of DOCSIS 4.0 is the ability to dynamically reallocate bandwidth between upload and download.
