I think fiber has a higher upload speeds. And the occasional cable system with really fast speeds can be in the 3Mbps range. But unless you are uploading large torrents all day long, no need for high upload speeds, says the ISP's. But then theres Comcrap and them not wanting anyone to do Torrents on their network.

Those numbers mean that people get jealous of your really fast connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
