The only thing personally I want is the same upload speed as download. So I can connect to my home server and download/upload stuff from it.



How are we supposed to have middlemen SAAS services making you subscribe to basic things if you can just do it yourself?


It's not just upload speeds though, don't forget also needing a static IP address (or two...) and unblocked ports, and a decent router and other networking gear. And when residential Internet goes IPv6-only (...eventually) you'll likely still need dual-stack IPv4 to avoid problems with connections from IPv4-only endpoints.

Oh, and an SLA too...

UPnP was meant to help alleviate some of those requirements but I don't think there's been any progress on that front since the spec came out in 2001...


I can see the desire for higher upload (because I have the same desire), but I don't care at all if they're the same.

I'd rather have 200/20 than 15/15 or 20/20 (obviously), but I would also rather have 200/20 than 25/25.


By the same, I mean to match what we already get in most places as download speeds, at least 100-200mbps.

Every household use google or apple photos app that upload backups to cloud services.
