minus-squareaubeynarf@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·23 days agoBoth my Google and At&t gigabit fiber plans have been symmetric and post about 850-900mbit both ways. Cable (DOCSIS) customers will always have lower UL because of the limited shared upload channel compared to multiple bonded download channels. Cellular customers will always have lower UL because of handset power/antenna limitations and transmit power ranging.
