Do people really have issues with bandwith limits on uploads? I've always heard the opposite.
Is it P2P or more like torrent where there are multiple peers? That would make more sense.
At the end of the day, isn't the switch and xbox faster at downloading? That's what really matters.
- Spooky23 9y agoMy network has multiple iOS devices, two computers and a bunch of appliance devices I also use voip. Maxing out the standard 3mb uplink is easy when photos sync or any number of other use cases.
- kuschku 9y ago3mb uplink? That’s... I’m sorry for you. Maybe you can find another ISP, I’m in northern Germany and my ISP provides 100mbps down, 40mbps up via DSL.
- Spooky23 9y agoNow I pay extra for "enhanced" service. 50/5! Here in America we believe that competition involves 1 cable company and one legacy phone company who offers 2/0.5 DSL for $70/mo, and will not actually install it if you try!
- MBCook 9y agoMany companies offer asymmetric bandwidth, especially on DSL. So depending on what kind of broadband you have you may not have much upload bandwidth at all. See my other comment in this post for an example.
- seabrookmx 9y agoYes definitely. For example, my home connection (in Western Canada) is 150mb down and 15mbit up. For general home usage (Streaming Netflix and whatnot), you definitely need more download than upload, but if I'm working from home over VPN, syncing pictures to Dropbox, etc. you can definitely saturate 15mb. And most North American households have much less bandwidth than I do.
- rubatuga 9y agoI'm lucky to get 2 Mbit upload speeds. However, my download speeds are around 25Mbit/s.
