Speedtest

Still HSPA DC - in which situations it is normal that Upload is about 4Mbps, in which situations it is not usual, and what is it depends to? Download Speed seems to be good.

Very often, download speed is several times that of upload speed - just like in your case and mine.

Here's mine -

Strange. Why is the result @jcgriff2 received for 76.12 Mbps faster than 95% of US and the result I received for 119.19 Mbps is only faster than 83% of US? Is it because of the upload speed?

Also, just going to Bing and typing speedtest this was the result there:

Sadly not very impressive compared to what we could be getting... but it's cheap, and there are only two of us in the flat.

Could have gone for a faster package if I was happy being locked into a 2+ year contract...

Have you ever felt that having a faster package was needed or would be helpful to you?

FIOS is now offering packages with up to 940 Mbps and I can't imagine that speed ever really being used. I don't think I'd notice a difference even if I had FIOS' 940 plan vs. my current plan (from the cable TV company) that ran in the Speedtest @ 76/37 Mbps Download/Upload speed respectively. My download speed has increased by 1.5x and upload speed by 5x over the last few years - same plan/package.

Sure - I'm routinely running into bandwidth limits, with only two people in the flat. Regularly downloading larger files, e.g. games, which can be 50-80GB, then if you add in 4K streaming on multiple devices then you can quickly need 50mbps at a minimum.

Then we have things like Google Stadia:

37mpbs is currently fine - but in a few years time it'll be seen as on the lower end and not sufficient for how many people use the internet. Remember - it wasn't very long ago that 37mbps was the equivalent of today's 1gbps - "how could you possibly use 37mbps???".
