I think you missed the main reason: MONEY ISPs consider a large uploading service to be a business (web/video/content hosting, P2P/B2B, etc). And as a business you are 'making money' off their service. So, of course, you should be charged more. Many ISPs have 'Business' accounts that grant higher upload speeds...for a hefty price. Even though its the same hardware throughout. It really has very little to do with 'bandwidth', and much to do about customer gouging.

This in many ways is leftover from the days of old. Back before ADSL businesses needed to use ISDN lines or if they were lucky and could afford it a T1 line(mostly used by things like banks). ISDN lines were symmetrical lines that worked a bit like an ADSL line, but far slower and far more expensive. ISPs got used to charging lots for these sorts of packages and have limited uploads ever since because they already knew businesses were willing to pay for the upload speeds.

Makes a lot of sense. Fibre tends to be full duplex, so on a single fibre you would expect up to 1Gb up and 1Gb down at the same time. But if multiple houses/offices are running on the same fibre (which would be expected in a massive city such as Tokyo), you essentially share these 1Gb limits. So given that people tend to download a lot more than they upload, the upload tends to be much less congested and thus allowing you to reach higher speeds than on the more used download.

The MPAA and RIAA (collectively known as the MAFIAA®) have more to do with this bandwidth throttling than you might think. They've pressured the industry into limiting upload speeds for decades, specifically to discourage "piracy". Of course, it didn't work, but then neither has any of their other anti "piracy" measures either.

So my question is, "Is there a way to make dynamic speeds that will prioritize the down or up speed based on what activity is hitting the line?" For example if you are at 50Mb for the total speed and you needed 45 Mb for a download could they potentially use the bandwidth then use say 30 for up instead as long as the download is not hitting it as well? Everything is so static right now. I wanna know if anyone has thought of a Dynamic solution to this problem? It has to be theoretically possible right? Or is the reason for it not being a thing because it would cost money to RnD such a solution moving forward?

DOCSIS 3.1 spec does go up to 10Gbit/1Gbit, yes. That's assuming very short coax runs, few or no other customers on the same node (the device that acts as the handoff from fiber to coax), and assuming that internet is the only product being delivered on the medium. Analog cable TV takes up about 3/4 of the available spectrum, and even digital cable TV takes up about 1/3 of the spectrum. EMTA based digital phone service requires dedicated upstream and downstream channels. Best case scenario, you have half of your spectrum left for internet. DOCSIS 3.0 uses 16 downstream channels and generally up to 4 upstream channels. DOCSIS 3.1 adds in OFDM channels (usually one) that is faster than all 16 standard downstream channels combined. Not every customer is willing to upgrade to a DOCSIS 3.1 modem, so you can't get rid of the 16 downstream channels. There's not enough space left on the spectrum to deliver to the DOCSIS 3.0 customers and still have much bandwidth left for upstream. There is no where near enough of the spectrum left for an OFDM upstream channel. So here are your options: live with less upstream bandwidth, be forced to rent a current gen modem from your cable company (at a rate that allows them to at least come out even if they're replacing your modem every few years, but you will complain about the rental fee), or dedicate the entire spectrum to internet and not have any other services. A lot of cable companies are working on the last option, and moving to IPTV to open up more of the spectrum for internet. Also, if they're a decent company, they will be pushing fiber further into the network, and reducing amount of coax. This reduces the number of neighbors that you share your bandwidth with, and enables you to actually get the speeds you're paying for. The ISP I work for is doing exactly this in preparation for symmetrical 10 Gbit on the DOCSIS 4 spec when it comes out. We were one of the first ISP's to deploy 1 Gbit over DOCSIS 3.1, we're planning to do the same with 10 Gbit. Also, business plans cost more than residential plans for a number of reasons, not price gouging. Business customers expect to have someone available to answer the phone 24x7 with no hold time, expect same day (or same hour) service calls when they have issues, and on average use about 5 times the bandwidth that residential customers do.

Thanks for addressing this! Always have been wondering about the discrepancy between up/down Speeds. We got fibre couple weeks ago - but it still is 300mbit/s down and 150 mbit/s up.

@louistournas120 Жыл бұрын
300 Mb/s is about 30 MB/s and 150 Mb/s is about 15 MB/s. I use divide by 10, instead of 8 to compensate for header related losses. So 15 MB/s up is very good. Mine is 1 Mb/s up, which is 100 KB/s.

Upstream and downstream use completely different parts of the spectrum (what those are depends a lot on your geographical location and the ISP's cable plant). Downstream and RF video are in the same space, with multiple 6MHz bands being allocated to each. Symmetric DOCSIS currently remains in theoretical land, as it is still pretty hard to take a combined upstream and downstream signal, subtract the downstream signal, and interpret the remaining upstream signal in realtime at the headend.

There is Syncronis DSL which has same up and download speeds. Ultimately this comes down to money. ISPs will gladly increase your upload for a much higher cost and then cap you every month (or what I call the punishment for streaming clause). Older equipment that ISPs own also plays a huge factor (too many cable splices at the drops) with slower uploads (and downloads) and many will ONLY upgrade their hardware if the neighborhoods are under new construction.

USA ISPs have little reason to upgrade their customers with their oligopoly over the populous. They charge a premium for fiber (if they even offer it at all), plus a bunch of rural territory still has at best satellite. Most new lines laid to new customers tends to be copper due to it being cheaper. The lines are owned privately in most cases, so any competition needs capital to even start by laying their own lines, which is an infrastructure nightmare in itself. Many municipalities have also been captured by contracts that forces them to block new competition from moving in. Depending on where you live there may be no interest in the local government to do anything about it. Our only real hope at this time is for states and municipalities to get their heads out of the sand and run and manage their own lines for internet like a utility similar to electricity or water. An example would be Chattanooga. If enough make the switch the larger private companies would actually have to compete with a better and cheaper product (after tossing millions into marketing and lobbying first of course). A more exotic solution would be competition from newer tech like usable and competitive wireless internet. I'm not sure for Canada, but they also have a geography problem in the vastness of their land. Copper is cheaper so you can cover more land for the same investment.

Bottom line is it depends on the technology. The A in ADSL stand for Asymmetric. Not as many US bands because as he mentions when that tech rolled out the US wasn’t most people’s primary concern and still isn’t. Even current FTTH technology like GPON is asymmetric and is still popular because you can split a single transport fiber out of the CO up to 64 ways and serve as many customers. It’s 2.5 G down and 1.4G up for those shared subs. That 1 to 64 split helps companies leverage their fiber as efficiently as possible. New tech like XGS PON (fixed wavelength of 10G up/down per PON or “split”) and NGPON2 (4 tuneable 10G up/down waves per PON) are now rolling out but the optics are incredibly expensive so you generally don’t see it used by smaller telecom providers. Source: I test and deploy new tech at an ISP.

Mostly correct. The main thing not covered here is how the DOCSIS specification only allows up to a certain frequency to be used on the upstream. DOCSIS 3.0 which is the most widely deployed right now supports between 5 - 85 Mhz on most models. with up to 8 channels bonded. So best case scenario the amount of bandwidth available to all modems connected to the same interface is around ~200Mbps which is more or less split between all modem transmitting at the same time. Downstream is different as more channels are supported in the higher frequencies (32 on DOCSIS 3.0) which at best case scenario is over 1Gbps shared. The correct part here is that this mainly did come from the days of old when uploading was not a concern and people pushed for higher download speeds.

ISP can put strong amplifier equipment on its side of the connection, on the other hand modems on the customer side can only produce a limited signal strength. The better channels are used for upload, the worse channels are used for download compensated with larger signal strength. So the number of channels suitable for upload is limited on copper connection.
