Ditched Xfinity for AT&T fiber a year ago - symmetrical 1Gbps up and down is sooooo nice, well was anyways. Moved since and back in cable hellscape.
They should just require that symmetrical connection is provided or at least is an option. After using it for a year, I’d gladly pay extra for it.
300/300 would probably serve most home applications well and 500/500 or 1Gbps/1Gbps for power users/demanding wfh.
- Frost1x 6y agoAfter being forced to live with cable most my life since shifting away from dialup, fiber has been an absolute joy. I pay for 400mbps through Fios but get something like 500d/300u. It's stable, no capping non-sense I've experienced and only slightly more per month (I think I pay 20% more than cable) yet service is significantly better (I think I have 2.5-5x download before and 10-20x upload rate). I have no desire to go back unless Verizon or one of its competitors decide to change drastically. What they're doing right now is fine, I don't even think about network service, it autopays and just works how I need it when I need it. First time I've been able to enjoy the pleasure of having fiber at home and not just work.
