    I think you missed the main reason: MONEY ISPs consider a large uploading service to be a business (web/video/content hosting, P2P/B2B, etc). And as a business you are 'making money' off their service. So, of course, you should be charged more. Many ISPs have 'Business' accounts that grant higher upload speeds...for a hefty price. Even though its the same hardware throughout. It really has very little to do with 'bandwidth', and much to do about customer gouging.

    This in many ways is leftover from the days of old. Back before ADSL businesses needed to use ISDN lines or if they were lucky and could afford it a T1 line(mostly used by things like banks). ISDN lines were symmetrical lines that worked a bit like an ADSL line, but far slower and far more expensive. ISPs got used to charging lots for these sorts of packages and have limited uploads ever since because they already knew businesses were willing to pay for the upload speeds.

    Makes a lot of sense. Fibre tends to be full duplex, so on a single fibre you would expect up to 1Gb up and 1Gb down at the same time. But if multiple houses/offices are running on the same fibre (which would be expected in a massive city such as Tokyo), you essentially share these 1Gb limits. So given that people tend to download a lot more than they upload, the upload tends to be much less congested and thus allowing you to reach higher speeds than on the more used download.

    Upstream and downstream use completely different parts of the spectrum (what those are depends a lot on your geographical location and the ISP's cable plant). Downstream and RF video are in the same space, with multiple 6MHz bands being allocated to each. Symmetric DOCSIS currently remains in theoretical land, as it is still pretty hard to take a combined upstream and downstream signal, subtract the downstream signal, and interpret the remaining upstream signal in realtime at the headend.

    So my question is, "Is there a way to make dynamic speeds that will prioritize the down or up speed based on what activity is hitting the line?" For example if you are at 50Mb for the total speed and you needed 45 Mb for a download could they potentially use the bandwidth then use say 30 for up instead as long as the download is not hitting it as well? Everything is so static right now. I wanna know if anyone has thought of a Dynamic solution to this problem? It has to be theoretically possible right? Or is the reason for it not being a thing because it would cost money to RnD such a solution moving forward?

    ISP can put strong amplifier equipment on its side of the connection, on the other hand modems on the customer side can only produce a limited signal strength. The better channels are used for upload, the worse channels are used for download compensated with larger signal strength. So the number of channels suitable for upload is limited on copper connection.

    There is Syncronis DSL which has same up and download speeds. Ultimately this comes down to money. ISPs will gladly increase your upload for a much higher cost and then cap you every month (or what I call the punishment for streaming clause). Older equipment that ISPs own also plays a huge factor (too many cable splices at the drops) with slower uploads (and downloads) and many will ONLY upgrade their hardware if the neighborhoods are under new construction.

The faster upload speeds at 300mbps make it where I don’t even bother with local file sharing anymore with my PCs (& how unreliable it is with the new versions of Windows). My computers just upload to the cloud and then download on another computer via the cloud when I need it. Biggest reason for faster upload speeds vs posting pictures and videos on social media.

    When modem speeds went from 33kbps to 56kbps, the speeds were asynchronous: only the download speed was 56kbps while upload speeds were stick and 33kbps. It pretty much started there. The video hints why this was acceptable.

    Right w/ you. I have 6 up and I'm on wifi. Oddly enough, we only use cable for the computers. I sometimes wonder if part of my issue is the router splitting the signal. Guess I won't be streaming. Also, while he's saying how great the future will be, these guys will most likely still keep the signal throttled back unless you pay a preminum price.

    In the grand scheme of things when I moved onto Linux back in November last year, there has been noticeable spike in upload speed, which I am impressed with. Since that's the case, there is something fundamentally wrong with Windows as an operating system when it comes to upload speeds. And I am pretty much hoping on having this issue scrutinized, perhaps even you Linus. XD

    Not sure, I can upload internally between windows machines at well above 700 Mbps (over 1 Gbps ethernet, above 2 Gbps over wifi 6 between phone and windows desktop) While windows is known for having limitations, they should be so high that if you ain't running over 20 Gbps you shouldn't be encountering them. If you are, then yep Linux is better. If you are below that, chances are that... It's so happened you got a bump in internet speed at the same time you got rid of windows

    @@Anankin12 Yup. Though in fairness, if I am to use Linux again, though, there needs to be some conditions met in order for me to consider going back to it, because VideoProc needs a Linux version, and until Samsung comes out with a new PSSD T8, which would hopefully be 100% Linux compatible, or perhaps look for different PSSD drives that could work very well with Linux, I won't be returning to it any time soon.

    Fight for UPLOAD speed and removal of data limits. It's the only way to keep Internet free, or at least remotely free. PS. I upload +1.5TB daily, 500TB yearly. And not pron, games, music or films, just about important knowledge, documents, documentaries. And videos saved from youtube purges etc.

    USA ISPs have little reason to upgrade their customers with their oligopoly over the populous. They charge a premium for fiber (if they even offer it at all), plus a bunch of rural territory still has at best satellite. Most new lines laid to new customers tends to be copper due to it being cheaper. The lines are owned privately in most cases, so any competition needs capital to even start by laying their own lines, which is an infrastructure nightmare in itself. Many municipalities have also been captured by contracts that forces them to block new competition from moving in. Depending on where you live there may be no interest in the local government to do anything about it. Our only real hope at this time is for states and municipalities to get their heads out of the sand and run and manage their own lines for internet like a utility similar to electricity or water. An example would be Chattanooga. If enough make the switch the larger private companies would actually have to compete with a better and cheaper product (after tossing millions into marketing and lobbying first of course). A more exotic solution would be competition from newer tech like usable and competitive wireless internet. I'm not sure for Canada, but they also have a geography problem in the vastness of their land. Copper is cheaper so you can cover more land for the same investment.

    My true fiber is less cost than the main competitor's copper-to-fiber which the competitor just started offering this. They're still slow and charge a premium. 1gb/1gb for $55/month FiOS versus 100mb/10mb Charter Spectrum for $70/month. Spectrum only does this because they're the largest one here but FiOS has been expanding.

    It's the anchoring effect; ISPs are stuck in a 90's mindset with bandwidth needs, so they figure they can charge a 27.3 butt-loads for "high-end" packages which in actuality, are just standard these days. ¬_¬

    Does having a cat8 ethernet cable (for example) help upload speeds? For instance I found a cheap cat6 ethernet cable but on the back it had the designation of 10base-T. Looked online and one source referenced that this was the max upload speed designation. Would love a video on ethernet cable/upload speed relationship if one exists.

    What about the links in between your ISP and the service(s) you're accessing? By the way most data transfer protocols are implemented, it would seem that the data speed would definitely be limited to the weakest link in the travel path.
