At least in my area Spectrum/TWC service has 400 mbps down and 20 mbps up. Still not great but far better than the old days.

- lotsofpulp 7y agoIt's probably 20mbps shared between the whole neighborhood with high latency. At this point, we should have symmetric fiber with at sub 50ms latency and 100mbps down and up everywhere like we work to have water, sewage, electricity, and gas. Right now, all of our money goes towards maintaining an antiquated system for providing commercial laden garbage media.
- alyandon 7y agoA 20mbps shared limit for an entire neighborhood for a major cableco might have been the case 20 years ago when cable internet deployment was in its infancy. While I agree that symmetric fiber would be better, my speeds are always consistently close to what I'm paying for and I'm one of those types of people that: 1) utilizes my upstream because of things like DR backups 2) treats cabelco with suspicion and thus records speeds, latency, packet loss stats continously 3) will pick up the phone and complain when I see problems until they are resolved to my satisfaction For example, this is representative of what I typically see: https://pastebin.com/wSt8fdee https://pastebin.com/wSt8fdee I count myself as one of the lucky ones and YMMV.
