It took months and multiple visits before one of techs unintentionally gave me the hint that with node congestion, Comcast will throttle all connected subscribers to the same X% of their rated speed. Annoying that the only way to reliably get even a 500kbps uplink out of them during peak videoconferencing hours was to pay for an 800/20mbps connection, but even more annoying that it took months of them blaming my cables and equipment.
- tristor 3y agoI have Comcast, and this is exactly why I have the highest tier of service, so I can guarantee that most of the time my video calls are fine, since I am permanent WFH.
- ectospheno 3y agoYeah. I pay for 1200/35mbps from comcast just for the 35.
