It really does suck, where I live the base plan gives you 300mbps down (which I know is pretty fast) but you are limited to 10mbps up. As much as they tout their speeds you'll only get them if you pay top dollar.

Sounds like Spectrum where I live, on the bright side our 300 down is usually closer to 350 down, but also their 10 up is usually closer to 8. Meanwhile you have to dig to find the upload speeds when you sign up, even though they have the download speeds plastered everywhere. Honestly, there should probably be a rule that ISPs can't list download speeds without upload speeds right next to it.

Yeah it is spectrum, the company is quite irritating and yeah they should be required to show both up and down speeds next to each other. For awhile I had t-mobile internet but the speeds were too inconstant so back to spectrum it was.

Where are you? I’ve lived in California my whole life and have had faster speeds than that since 1998.
