The problem in US with cable isnt download speeds, it is that the major providers limit uploads rather drasticaly (they never talk about how much upload they can give and talk about "gig" internet). I've had a 300/12 Mbps connections, that's pretty insane...
- nfriedly 5y agoThat's, at least partially, a technical limitation. The cable television network was designed and built for massively more signal going to homes (vudeo) than coming back from them (authentication or whatever). DSL does it more by choice, but the main problem there is that there's just so little bandwidth all together (upload and download combined). That's not to say I disagree with you. I dropped cable internet and switched to fiber the moment it became available, because it gave me symmetric speeds.
