Its getting better but most rural cable systems have older amps and line extenders. The upstream or return portion of them are very limited in capacity. Adding to that problem is the fact that the return on almost all cable systems is in the T channel range. This is also close to the CB radio spectrum and there are several other sources of noise that can interfere with them. It doesn’t matter how many downstream channels you can bond the upstream is limited until you can replace all the equipment on a node with gear that has a larger return spectrum. The line extender on the pole in front of my house is nearly thirty years old and it is doing more than it was designed to do.
