Why is your uplink so bad? Do you have a low tier plan? If not, why haven't you had Comcast fix it?

- johnpowell 7y agoI have Comcast Business. I pay them 100 dollars a month. Even if I paid them way more they just don't offer much more upload where I live. They will give me tons of download but all their plans have anemic upload. My only other option is Centurylink and they will give me a symmetric line. But that tops out at 12Mbp/s. At least with Comcast I get a reasonable download. I live in a major metropolitan area. Five miles from where a NBA team plays home games.
- bscphil 7y agoI was going to say more or less this. The maximum anyone can get in my major US city for any money (other than a few areas that are trialing fiber) is 20 Mbits/sec. You literally can't pay for more.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoYou should try rural USA. I’m currently sitting in an area 1 hour from $65/gigabit but the best they can get here is 1.5 down .3 up.
- driverdan 7y agoDo you have a decent wireless signal? I get much better than that on my hotspots.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoI can’t let the in-laws stream Netflix off my phone when I’m in town. It was 3G in the area, they ran fiber last year and now their DSL can get up to a whole 10Mbps if they decide to pay $100/mo. There is no good solution yet.
