I know their network varies greatly from market to market but, in my experience across 3 markets and 15 years, they always delivered what they advertised. That's not to say the prices were fair or the speed was good, just that it was what was sold.

At one point I was running 4 Nest Cameras that were uploading to the cloud at a constant 27mbps. I was running a Unifi Gateway and religious compared my bandwidth consumption with what Comcast reported and they always erred on under reporting.

Their data caps a complete bullshit though designed to extract revenue from anyone who wasn't a cable tv subscriber.

Interesting. I wonder why they wouldn’t advertise their upload speeds then. I’ve called Comcast about numerous locations and they would never promise me any upload performance, which I take to mean that they are not willing to upgrade their network in the event people saturate it, or more houses are added to the neighbors.

I'm guessing that, up until streaming started to take off, it was mostly irrelevant because it was, and still is for many, sufficient.

Having asymmetrical channel bonding allows cable providers to use cheaper equipment and still offer gigabit download speeds.
