It’s not a lie – they can’t provide upload speeds anywhere near their download speeds. 20 Mbps vs 6 Mbps is still quite small compared to 1000 Mbps. DOCSIS 3.1, the latest and not fully deployed standard goes up to 10Gbps down and 1Gpbs up.
It looks like DOCSIS 4.0 is actually a path forward to symmetric upload/download speeds over the same cables
- boneitis 3y agoI feel like this does more to affirm the "been proven a lie" statement than refute it. 20 Mbps, while still suffocation, provides a massive amount of breathing room from 6.
- lolinder 3y agoI didn't say that asymmetric upload speeds being required was a lie, but until today Xfinity wouldn't allow me to pay for >6 Mbps upload without going up to some sort of business-tier package. Now, the day that the FCC sets 20 Mbps up as the minimum, I magically get that exact number for free.
- ksec 3y agoI was under the impression DOCSIS 4.0 was basically a rebranded maximum feature of 3.1?
