    according to the FTC or FCC whichever one it was recently raised the defined speed of a broadband connection.

    It’s not symmetrical yet though. Which is weird.

      Eh, I would say it’s to be expected. A lot of infrastructure still relies on coax/DOCSIS which has its limitations in comparison to an all-fiber backbone. (This post has some good explanations.) However it wouldn’t surprise me if some ISPs argue that “nobody needs that much uplink” and “it helps restrict piracy” when really it’s just them holding out against performing upgrades.
