I bought land on a state road that has a Spectrum fiber line on it. I called Spectrum to get a connection to the fiber line for a new house construction, but they said symmetrical speeds aren’t available yet in my area.
It’s always been my understanding that being on a fiber optic network generally means symmetric download/upload, but why is it not the case here?
I tried to see if there was a Business option for higher upload, but it seems like Business internet has the same upload speeds with lower download speeds for double the price.
Peering cost for spectrum. They simply pay less for ingress than egress (traffic to and from their networks). Pure business and cost factor. You are correct, ADSL and Coax can’t send data at the same speed because of how they work (QAM) where as in fiber it’s doesn’t matter anymore.
