We need more places offering the same upload as download so people can do these things from home. Here I know spectrum only offers like 10mb upload even if you’ve got like 3gb download.

    I'm so tired of my 40Mbps upload speeds. Why can I get 1.2Tbps down, but only 40Mbps up? It's crazy.

    Because that's literally the minimum upload speed they can give you. If you're pulling down data at 1.2Gbps, you'll be sending back 40Mbps in response traffic. If they could give you less, they would.

    I actually only go for the 400Mbps down plan, and it's 40Mbps up across all of their plans, including the 1.2Tbps plan. I believe it's some outdated hardware limitation of cable or something, at least that's what I've heard.

    You need a new modem that supports the higher upload speed protocol. And having a DOCSIS 3.1 isn't enough... it has to be a DOCSIS 3.1 that supports the new protocols. I had to switch to a Hitron CODA because my Netgear CM1000 wasn't enough anymore

    most consumers don't need upload speeds. they aren't uploading anything. most people's internet traffic is like 99.9% streaming videos at this point.

    Well the rest (0.1%) needs good upload speed for their home servers. /s

    Companies with lots of traffic certainly needs fast uplinks.

    So upload speeds are not irrelevant and needs to accompany downloads speed for the health of the Internet infrastructure, as it trickles down to the households eventually.
