There is no way in [removed] that the average home cable internet speed is between 4 and 12 Mbps.

I use COX for my home internet and their lowest plan starts at 5Mbps

Then 15Mbps

Then 100Mbps

Then 300Mbps(this plan costs $75/mo for 1 year then $100/mo after that)

There isn't a comparison to be made. If i didnt have to be away from home for such long periods i wouldnt even consider an unlimited plan through a cell conpany.

Well, for what it's worth, the issue seems to have resolved.

last 2 speed tests done in this area showed comparable to other areas.

I REALLY hope this is the last problem in this area and doesn't recur.

I will update if it happens again.

Well, I should have known it was too good to be true. 

Back to the same old crap now.

Interesting reading.

No it is never typical to have max download speed = max upload speed. Even on cable or DSL, the amount of bandwidth allocated for download must be greater than for upload. Frankly, the population pushes much less data to the network than it pulls.

I know it doesn't help, but after slamming my head against the Verizon Advanced Tech Team wall, I've given up. The speeds for me started slowing on two devices from my work location and they suggested I connect to the company wifi. I don't know that I feel any better knowing that others are having the same speed issues.

BTW, the script they tried to run me through is infuriating. They wanted to reset my browser history in Safari? I had to stop myself from screaming.

What's really sad is that Xfinity Mobile has created a new unlimited wireless phone plan using Verizon's network. That's just brilliant.
