Why is upload speed always so low?
Why are the upload speeds so slow for internet providers? We have a 1000 Mbps cable connection from Vodafone for downloads, but only a maximum of 50 Mbps for uploads?
I understand that this is perfectly sufficient for the average customer, but if you want to run a public server, for example, it's not really advantageous… You could at least offer higher upload speeds for an additional fee. Or do you have alternatives?
then you do not make this at a standard DSL/cable or fiber-optic access with asymmetric transmission rates, but you take care of a symmetrical business access, in which the upstream is just as fast as the downstream.
Upload is an activity that speed is reached by upstream. Also for download/downstream.
Okay, thanks – well, in order to get my stuff on the go, it’s enough and for all public projects, I’ll just get back a dedicated server at Hetzner and Co. or a VPS
… that is not desired to run servers at home. There they have to grab business tariffs and thus deep into the wallet.
Especially with the cable internet, it is so that every MBit bandwidth is needed to sell the customer a lot of download band widths that they don’t really need. Or let us just say in the rarest cases.
In the case of cable internet, all customers in a so-called cluster share a cable. at the DSL, each customer has its own cable up to the distributor cabinet.
I’m almost afraid you’ll have to wait for fiberglass and then book a Busines fare
Glass fibre.
Or symetric Business DSL/cable connection.
Glass fiber is unfortunately only available from May, but will definitely be worth the thought for constant 4x so fast upload speed.
