They still make you jump through hoops to figure out what the upload speeds are for their plans.
Google just tore up all the streets in my neighborhood installing fiber. Just waiting on them to turn that stuff on. Not super pleased that it’s Google but Comcast lobbied and blasted commercials about the government owned infrastructure fiber provider in the area when they were considering bringing that to my city and got it shut down.
Google fiber is 5x the download speeds and 125x the upload speed…for less money? Absolutely.
And the upload speeds, at least for me, are utter shit. I had to pay for their highest tier, 1Gb, to get 35Mb up. They upgraded me to 1.3Gb but I haven't even been able to find upload rates for any plans on their website to see if their new 2Gb plan is any better. I've never gotten more than 42Mb up.
