Even when they use industry-standard terms, like Mbps, they don't even advertise their upload speed (because it is piss-poor).
I'm at up to 250mbps down and 10mbps up for $90 usd a month. In fairness though I do see that max speed, and even a bit over it regularly.
There is a local Power company around here that started running fiber to their service area, but sadly I am not in it so I am stuck with ComCrap
I just left their service. I was at 1000 Mbps / 20 Mbps (typically around 850 Mbps / 18 Mbps due to equipment) with unlimited data for $120 a month. Such a waste.
I wish I could, but they are the only high speed around me unless I go with LTE, which can be spotty and is more expensive for slower speeds.
