What's really crazy about lopsided plans like that 1Gbps/30Mbps is that a lot of the time you straight up can't use that 1 gig down because your pitiful upstream gets completely saturated just trying to keep up with the ACKs you need to send back to confirm receipt of packets. More then 30Mbps upstream is literally a requirement if you want to utilise 1Gbps of downstream over TCP.
