  Why not have a fun joke and some education?

    I’ll play. Without assuming where anyone is from, I’ll add that the vast majority of US residential Internet connections, especially those in rural areas, are not only slower than they are in much of Europe (for example) but are commonly asymmetrical, too. Meaning even if someone has a gigabit connection, often it’s only 1Gbps in one direction for Americans while the maximum upstream throughput may be closer to 50Mbps. Even a top-of-the-line, 5 figure Cisco or Juniper router can’t do much to improve that situation for the end user when someone starts uploading large video files.

    That said, fortunately or unfortunately (as our President says), incest isn’t exclusive to Alabama,

      So… we shouldn’t learn about things because the internet in the US sucks?

      I believe every internet connection in the world is asymmetric. Most people download way more than they upload.

        Yes but my point was that some people don’t even have a choice.

        That was the theory once upon a time, but with the incease of working from home, schooling from home, the sheer number of people who are streaming etc. it’s increasingly common for people to need solid up as well as down.

        Nope mine’s 1 GB down 1 GB up I’ve checked and it is. True I’ll probably never use the upload capability to anything nothing about maybe 4% of its capacity but that’s why the company can offer 1 gigabit up.
