- kijin 7y agoI'm trying to point out that, in some countries, it doesn't even occur to people that their upload speeds might be significantly different from their download speeds. The very fact that the parent worries about such a difference is an artifact of where they're from. I picked the US as a worst-case example because it has some of the most asymmetric broadband plans in the developed world. How on Earth does an ISP get away with selling something like 100/5?
