Should be 1gbps asymmetric now, with a near future goal of 1gbps symmetric.
I'd be okay with 200mbps symmetric, with a future goal of 1gbps symmetric. More than ANYTHING, I'm tired of providers providing things like 1gbps down, 10mbps up. And then doing shit like "Here's you're 1gbps plan with a 1tb data cap!"
My isp used to offer 10mbps up for like a decade, they have recently downgraded it to 5mbps for new subscribers. I've uploaded a few things with it and it's extremely slow. If it wasn't that I'm only paying $40 for 1gbps down, I'd have switched.
~500Kb/s. Yay.....
