I get Gigabit over coax tho

DOCSIS 3.1 is pretty awesome. I heard 4.0 is in testing. Fiber (FttH) is similar to coax in that many subscribers are attached to one head end device. Subscriber throughput is determined by the number of subscribers and the speeds they ordered on the shared resource. Although fiber is leading in total capacity per OLT/PON, it's not like coax can't achieve excellence subscriber speeds by just deploying more head end devices with fewer subscribers on each.

upload too? cause coax upload sucks ass

Best I can get is 1000/300 which is far from symmetrical but also far from sucking ass.

yeah not bad at all for coax

Nope, upload fucking sucks. 50 MB/s. It got worse this spring, like 30 Mb/s, so I opened a ticket and a technician came over to calibrate our house connector (?).

Edit: This is due to the provider tho, not the medium. Vodafone (in Germany) is ass but I did not get a successful connection over DSL (the other option, sadly no fiber yet), so I went with them instead.
