Who cares about shame when you have no competition? In your dreams.

A lot of isps are rolling out gigabit and even faster internet. Finally having a killer app for it will increase demand for it and shame slower isps to upgrade their old coaxial and copper cables with fiber.

I get Gigabit over coax tho
MSids@lemmy.world 7 months ago
DOCSIS 3.1 is pretty awesome. I heard 4.0 is in testing. Fiber (FttH) is similar to coax in that many subscribers are attached to one head end device. Subscriber throughput is determined by the number of subscribers and the speeds they ordered on the shared resource. Although fiber is leading in total capacity per OLT/PON, it’s not like coax can’t achieve excellence subscriber speeds by just deploying more head end devices with fewer subscribers on each.

upload too? cause coax upload sucks ass
ngwoo@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Best I can get is 1000/300 which is far from symmetrical but also far from sucking ass.
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 7 months ago
yeah not bad at all for coax

Nope, upload fucking sucks. 50 MB/s. It got worse this spring, like 30 Mb/s, so I opened a ticket and a technician came over to calibrate our house connector (?).

complaining a bout 50MB/s upload is a champagne problem.

I think the thing to note here is that ISPs roll those things out fully aware that hardly anyone who pays for that will actually USE that amount of data. In fact there are some places where regardless of your bandwidth, you have a monthly data allotment. This game represents a shift into super high bandwidth usage for the general non-technical population. If everyone and their mom starts actually using all the bandwidth they pay for, can the ISP deal with that? If you don’t have a monthly data limit, do they start to roll those out to you and your area?

They’ll still cap you at 250Gb a month.

idk, I upload almost 1TB per day. never gotten notices or anything. fios.
Damaskox@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I won’t be upgrading my 50mbit download/10mbit upload 😂

ISPs are unshamable and a flight sim is a niche application.
