I really wish symmetric broadband was standard. Having 500 down (as a homelabber especially) means nothing if you have only 25 up 😭

Homelabber here, stuck in Comcast hell with 10Mbps upload.

I wish I could afford to bring the local municipal fiber to my house, but to go like 2 city blocks with it would be tens of thousands of dollars. :(

I'm considering a local colocation/ datacenter to move my homelab to. But then it wouldn't be a homelab anymore

Same boat here with Comcast. I would gladly give up some of the 800Mbps download to increase the 12Mbps upload speed I'm getting.

800Mbps*

*with SPEEDBOOST! (We throttle lawl)

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

We don’t throttle to our company-owned Speedtest servers though so we can disprove you when claiming we are not offering you peak speeds.
