    Fiber or cable? ISPs are total dicks, but with cable they at least have the excuse that the asymmetry is a consequence of the technology.

      Cable. We have DOCSIS 3.1, which supports 10Gbps down and 1Gbps up. 35 Mbps up on a DOCSIS 3.1 network is atrocious.

        For 35 up, if it were an actual limitation and not entirely artificial, I would have guessed 3.0 with a 2-channel bond and some terrible noise. But on DOCSIS 3.1 that excuse goes out the window, and yeah, that’s absolutely atrocious.
