Do you know what makes them asymmetric? Is it just traffic shaping at the ISP, or is it some hardware limitation?

- komadori 4y agoIt's not necessarily a hardware limitation (depending on hardware), but the at the physical layer the frequency plan for a DSL or PON connection typically allocates a narrower band for upstream traffic than downstream traffic. GPON is usually 2.4 Gbit down and 1.2 Gbit up across everyone attached to the same optical splitter.
