Both my Google and At&t gigabit fiber plans have been symmetric and post about 850-900mbit both ways.

Cable (DOCSIS) customers will always have lower UL because of the limited shared upload channel compared to multiple bonded download channels.

ADSL customers are in a similar situation, with the modems configured to allocate 90% of the channel to downstream (which makes sense for the vast majority of users).

Cellular customers will always have lower UL because of handset power/antenna limitations and transmit power ranging.

fuck I just bought a new iPhone
