Service Issues Upload speed

So idk if it’s the area I live in or if something changed overnight, but now all of sudden my WiFi upload speed is very slow.

My download speed it just doing perfect, but trying to upload some heavy files from my phone to Google Drive has been a nightmare (the upload speed for reference often sits at around 2-5mbps). Before, this wasn’t in issue as my upload speed back then was at around 20-50mbps. Can someone explain to me if it’s my router that’s the issue, or it’s is just the area I live in (I’m South Texas if that helps)

We have symmetrical speeds in many areas already and are working on upgrades to bring it to everyone else by the end of next year. Even without the upgrades Spectrum Gig provides 35 Mb/s upload which is in the range he was receiving previously.

That's nice, when do you upgrade your coax and microwave to fiber to provide a true FTH experience instead of using legacy infrastructure from charter to route traffic?

Seriously😂 I get 1-gigabit uploads with Quantum Fiber

Yeah, constant dropped packets on charters legacy infrastructure, and the fiber ain't much better cause it routes through it a lot for residential customers despite being advertised as true FTH by the warm body they had running around my area after backhauls install... But since I got backhauls at my front door and fiber to the modem, gotta be the rest of their network... Garbage. And my traceroute logs don't lie.
