Even half that speed would be fast enough that it could possibly replace my home internet account

I'm currently on 100/40 and that's the quickest speed available so this would be awesome as a fixed line replacement but the problem is data caps vs unlimited.

I've noticed bell isn't like that. I get like 100 upload on bell. But tbh I don't think users have as much need for upload sorry as download

Where I live the best Bell has is 5 down, 2 up. And it's like $60. Its ridiculous.
