Thats good, 25/3 speed is fine for one person, not so much for a household.
We have 30 down, can stream multiple devices. I think it’s the “up to” nonsense, actual 30 (not sure I even get that) seems ok.
It’s the upload that’s the problem. 30mbps down is passable; 3mbps up is absurdly slow.
Not only that, but since it’s synchronous, if you’re uploading at nearly 3 Mbps, your download rate absolutely tanks.
Absolutely not. It depends more on what you’re doing, rather than number of people, anyways. One person uploading a video is going to use 99% of the available upload bandwidth.
That’s a traffic shaping problem, not really on the person or service. Streaming would be a better example because that’s immediate and you care about uploading in a timely fashion and best quality, but if you limit your upload bandwidth you can manage it better…
But then again we’re talking about upload, in general, upload only matters in a few situations, latency will be more important, and download is always more noticeable than upload speeds.
Even doing making youtube videos the only reason you need instant fast video upload is if you’re trying to push drama videos, and even then, I’m probably fine with them being slightly limited by that. But ultimately uploading videos is only slightly inconvenient for modern broadband, if it’s that bad, look into how to limit how much bandwidth it takes up, there’s good ways.
It’s literally entirely on the service provider… their upload limits are ridiculously bad.
Great, now what are we going to do about it?
Hell just outlaw datacaps and I’d say that’s a good step.
That being said I doubt almost anyone on here probably has more than those speeds, Cox (the worst cable company, trust me) gives me 10x those numbers, but the real problem is they’ll continue to raise the rates on us, and worse, there’s no competition. Verizon 5g came by and it’s not really a viable alternative, because Cox just out paces them enough, but ultimately, you’re going to spend at least 100 dollars a month on Cable, but still there’s no choices available.
I wouldn’t call this speed okay even in 2012
Lol I like how this post somehow has negative one downvote
We don’t really think the FCC chair is going to do anything, do we?
There are 4 people in the FCC that get to vote on policy, 2 democrats and 2 republican. The republican ones are just Comcast and att lobbyist. The democrats don’t suck but can’t do anything without a third vote. The president gets to appointment someone to be a tie breaker, but Biden didn’t do it until after midterm so they no longer had the votes to get her approved, and by the time the current one gets through the next election will be happening so nothing will get done. If Biden wins another FCC voter will have to step down and wait for Biden to pick a replacement and Congress gets to approve or Biden losses and the republican appoints another lobbyist.
So no nothing will be done.
