Pai’s FCC says 25Mbps is fast enough
- walrus01 8y agoWhat is messed up is asymmetric upstream in last mile access systems that have been built on top of legacy infrastructure. I fully realize the technical limitations in RF bandwidth in old copper cable plant for DOCSIS3 and 3.1 deployment. ISPs like Comcast, Charter and others have reasons to build things in a highly asymmetric fashion. But I am seriously disappointed that my home Comcast connection can do 220 Mbps down and is rate limited to 6.3 Mbps upstream, yet I pay $82 a month for it. Active ethernet in a condo or apartment building in my same region is 1000 x 1000 for the same $80 a month. Or Centurylink GPON which can achieve 300-400 Mbps upstream for the same price, in places where it's available.
