Even when they use industry-standard terms, like Mbps, they don't even advertise their upload speed (because it is piss-poor).
Can confirm.
I use Xfinity since they have a monopoly on our area and we don't really have any other choice. It costs $70/month for 100mbps DOWNLOAD. and it's about 8mbps upload.
American ISPs are literally the devil
Here in Alaska you can have a cell line, 500mbps, and unlimited data for $125.
500mbps up? Or just down
500 down, maybe 50 up but I’d have to go check.
Edit: $110/mo for 500 down / 20 up, 600gb monthly cap before throttling.
Their only unlimited data plan is actually $185/mo. 2.5gbps download, 75 mbps upload.
