Upload MUCH lower than download on fiber = unexpected → call ISP
Xfinity, Spectrum, Rogers, Cox, Optimum
Low upload on cable = NORMAL DOCSIS, not a fault ✅
🟠 DSL: 5-100 Mbps (distance-limited). Far from exchange = 10 Mbps max even on "fast" plans.
🟣 5G Home: 50-1,000 Mbps. Varies by tower. Under 50 Mbps = reposition gateway.
🌕 Starlink: 50-200 Mbps, 25-60ms ping. Good for rural.
HughesNet/Viasat: ping 600-900ms. Gaming/calls impossible — physics, not fixable.
