It's a big deal to me, yes. For the average person, it doesn't matter. Just because you think it's personally a "waste of money" for higher upload speeds for yourself doesn't mean that it is for everyone else. Even "hypothetically", as I don't believe any internet provider has plans that give you higher upload without also getting higher download. (with all cable companies, they give you 10% of your download as upload, but it caps at around 35mb. So 100/10, 200/20, 500/35, 1000/35).

I don't believe I ever said Cox is being deceptive, the issue is with docsis 3.1 itself. Since it goes over coax, it has a limit of about 50mb. (Cox keeps that at about 35 believe) if we had, Xfinity, spectrum, etc. Doesn't mattter, it's the same limit as they all use coax.

Overall I've been reasonably happy with Cox, but I'd love faster upload speeds which they can't provide. And as I said, if they decided to start price gouging, there is literally nothing I can do.

Just
