- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoTell me about it. My 1Gbps docsis3 has an upload of 35Mpbs because of 1980s cable tv frequency choice reasons. I’m slightly impressed with StarLink and slightly annoyed at my main ISP. This is on the edge of nowhere, but still cool. The only other option I had here was dialup or if I wanted to pay outrageous rates, I could get a .5-1Mbps T1 only because there is a ranger station not too far off that put one in and I can access some of the trunk hardware a few miles away.
