Home internet is only fast downstream.

Upstream is usually awful.

(At least in the USA.)



Verizon FiOS has had symmetric gigabit service available for well over a decade for a reasonable price.

Where in the USA are you?


Anywhere outside of a tech hub, usually. The cable TV providers all had a lot of downstream (to carry television), and very little upstream, and they have largely done little to fix that state of affairs.


Except for fiber, for all providers I'm aware.


My home fiber is symmetric gigabit in Seattle, for $65/mo
