The current widely deployed version, DOCSIS 3 supports up to 1Gbps down, 200Mbps up. 3.1 which isn't fully deployed but is available in most major markets is up to 10/1.
I think the main issue is in how Comcast allocates the different channels. They prioritize download because it also serves TV customers, while upload is only used for Internet.

- mynameisvlad 6y agoYep. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS for the down/up of each version. The theoretical maxes are far higher than the current offerings.

Comcast has an inherent conflict of interest, in that they are a middleman for high margin TV subscriptions. Better internet obviates the need to purchase TV subscriptions from Comcast, so I would conclude they're dragging their heels on purpose.
