60-70 gigabits per second for $40/month? Guessing you mean megabits. Not worth being packet inspected. 1gbit on comcast seems to give 42 mbps upload, was 50 a few months ago. ~$80/mo edit: hitting 48-50 mbps again today, sweet

Comcast upload is a farce. They don't bother stating it anywhere, I presume because they modify it as needed to satisfy their needs for providing TV channels or their "burst" download speeds.

  It's usually 10% of your download it seems, apparently until you go past about 250 mbps.

  its 3/5/10/35mbit up, but consistent. 35 is the docsis limit on their gigabit cable offering
  - lotsofpulp 6y ago
    They never advertise upload bandwidth anywhere, and it varies hugely when I'm at other people's houses that have cable internet. I assumed it's because they might provision 200mbps down / 10mbps up for a neighborhood, and then throttle you down as necessary.

    Which version of docsis is this? 2.0 from 2002?

      i think so, but i had to upgrade to a docsis 3.0 modem, but told the physical infrastructure in place here cannot exceed 35mbit up. im not even going to pretend to know enough about cable to postulate how possible that is

Comcast "gigabit" is a lie. I reliably get 900mb down and 900mb up with Verizon in DC.
- hnuser123456 6y ago
  The download isn't a lie and it's what they advertise. I was getting 800mbps before I updated my home router from a 2014 model to a 2020 one, now I hit 950-960. I wish the upload was symmetric, but I understand that's not always possible on copper, getting about 50 now. Not bad for a ~50-year-old apartment.

    The problem isn't with copper, it's with the cost of building out amplifiers. It's a lot more cost effective to amplify downstream than upstream, especially when most use cases are heavily asymmetric. (I'd expect that only in the past year or so has upstream been a lot more heavily utilized, what with massively increased work-from-home due to the pandemic. Before then, the primary stressors of the network were things like streaming 4k60 video. And I'll be very surprised if any ISPs thought torrent uploads to be a use case worth optimizing for.)
