Plot twist: This video was supposed to be uploaded yesterday, but the upload speed was too slow
10 Gigabit upload isn't enough

Good one dude! 😂
Upload speeds are slow because of gravity.
Up = against gravity therefore slower
Down = With gravity therefore faster

@@man7587 you know cocaine usually isn't ingested by mouth right?
I think you missed the main reason: MONEY
ISPs consider a large uploading service to be a business (web/video/content hosting, P2P/B2B, etc). And as a business you are 'making money' off their service. So, of course, you should be charged more. Many ISPs have 'Business' accounts that grant higher upload speeds...for a hefty price. Even though its the same hardware throughout. It really has very little to do with 'bandwidth', and much to do about customer gouging.
maybe in some countries yes, but my ISP gives the same upload speed for every package but different download speeds, it really just depends.
Yeah comcast does this. They keep raising my download speed free of charge due to competition but if I mention upload they offer business packages for a couple hundred more at least.
Yeah not 100% true. Though money does have a lot to do with this. Their networks can only route so much out which is a lot expensive than to take data in.
@@maddawgzzzz on less the isp has something configured wrong it should be same if its going in or out of the network.
This in many ways is leftover from the days of old. Back before ADSL businesses needed to use ISDN lines or if they were lucky and could afford it a T1 line(mostly used by things like banks). ISDN lines were symmetrical lines that worked a bit like an ADSL line, but far slower and far more expensive. ISPs got used to charging lots for these sorts of packages and have limited uploads ever since because they already knew businesses were willing to pay for the upload speeds.

Weirdly, here in Tokyo it feels like the reverse.
"Gigabit" connections are common-ish but my download tops out around 100-150Mbs and uploads often go beyond 350Mbs!
Makes a lot of sense. Fibre tends to be full duplex, so on a single fibre you would expect up to 1Gb up and 1Gb down at the same time. But if multiple houses/offices are running on the same fibre (which would be expected in a massive city such as Tokyo), you essentially share these 1Gb limits. So given that people tend to download a lot more than they upload, the upload tends to be much less congested and thus allowing you to reach higher speeds than on the more used download.

The original reason for asynchronous internet speed was to keep consumers from running their own servers.
but my fibre upload is faster
Wow that actually makes sense
The original reason is because originally you needed modems that decoded tones, and there were only so many 'tone bins' available, so you dedicated more to download as that's what the majority of people needed. For servers there were T1 & E1 (ISDN) connections that gave synchronous connectivity.

@@RickZune who were you referring to?
@@D.AverageJoe OP ofc
I think there is another important thing you missed. Most ISP (at leats here in Brazil) also hosts CDN servers for highly demanded services like netflix. This takes a huge influence in the speeds expected to be used by most users. Uploading most of the time needs connection directly to a bigger server slowing these speeds too
Thanks for the breakdown Brother ✌️, wish you a happy Thanksgiving
Upstream and downstream use completely different parts of the spectrum (what those are depends a lot on your geographical location and the ISP's cable plant). Downstream and RF video are in the same space, with multiple 6MHz bands being allocated to each.
Symmetric DOCSIS currently remains in theoretical land, as it is still pretty hard to take a combined upstream and downstream signal, subtract the downstream signal, and interpret the remaining upstream signal in realtime at the headend.

@@realcartoongirl they already do. Indeed we are one of the earliest countries to roll out 5g on a large scale. Our government decided to create a fast internet system across the country and spent many billions of dollars to end up with what's probably worse than if they hadn't interfered in the first place. So plenty of people just don't bother with a fixed line broadband or phone and once 5g rolls out more widely we may be the first developed country to largely give up on fixed line broadband and phone completely.
@@realcartoongirl most countries do for rural. This is common here in New Zealand, we have LTE and 5G Wireless Broadband networks where they don't offer Fiber.
Really seems like they should be able to switch frequencies on demand. Or I should be able to manage my connection to some degree.
There is a lot more to it, but at the same time there probably doesn't need to be a lot more to it. The networks, the hardware and the backend agreements have never been designed to have much flexibility in this regard, but that's a human decision more that a fundamental issue of what would be possible if the network had been designed to be more flexible.

Thank you Sir. Much appreciate for such a nice video!
I felt this video with my soul. Uploading 40 GB files for work is the largest bottle neck in my business.
So my question is, "Is there a way to make dynamic speeds that will prioritize the down or up speed based on what activity is hitting the line?"
For example if you are at 50Mb for the total speed and you needed 45 Mb for a download could they potentially use the bandwidth then use say 30 for up instead as long as the download is not hitting it as well? Everything is so static right now. I wanna know if anyone has thought of a Dynamic solution to this problem? It has to be theoretically possible right?
Or is the reason for it not being a thing because it would cost money to RnD such a solution moving forward?
That doesn't make enough money. The original reason for asynchronous internet speed was to keep consumers from running their own servers and corner the market to stop potential competition.

I haven't had slower then download speeds for my upstream in years.

Sad.
my isp uses a much lower frequency range for upstream which has an inherently lower capacity. it also means that when you increase downstream in an upgrade, you don't automatically get a better upstream. Ratio is also painfully bad, usually around 1:16. But that's actually the best you can get here if you don't want to pay a four digit business account fee.

Excellent video
There is Syncronis DSL which has same up and download speeds. Ultimately this comes down to money. ISPs will gladly increase your upload for a much higher cost and then cap you every month (or what I call the punishment for streaming clause). Older equipment that ISPs own also plays a huge factor (too many cable splices at the drops) with slower uploads (and downloads) and many will ONLY upgrade their hardware if the neighborhoods are under new construction.

Always have been wondering about the discrepancy between up/down Speeds.
We got fibre couple weeks ago - but it still is 300mbit/s down and 150 mbit/s up.
For a very small rural town of just 1480 inhabitants that is still impressive in my opinion.
Lived on 2mbit/s for years.
300 Mb/s is about 30 MB/s and 150 Mb/s is about 15 MB/s. I use divide by 10, instead of 8 to compensate for header related losses.
So 15 MB/s up is very good. Mine is 1 Mb/s up, which is 100 KB/s.
Linus with his multiple Gbit/s upload speed: "Why are uploads so slow?"

ISP can put strong amplifier equipment on its side of the connection, on the other hand modems on the customer side can only produce a limited signal strength.
The better channels are used for upload, the worse channels are used for download compensated with larger signal strength.
So the number of channels suitable for upload is limited on copper connection.
Mostly correct. The main thing not covered here is how the DOCSIS specification only allows up to a certain frequency to be used on the upstream. DOCSIS 3.0 which is the most widely deployed right now supports between 5 - 85 Mhz on most models. with up to 8 channels bonded. So best case scenario the amount of bandwidth available to all modems connected to the same interface is around ~200Mbps which is more or less split between all modem transmitting at the same time. Downstream is different as more channels are supported in the higher frequencies (32 on DOCSIS 3.0) which at best case scenario is over 1Gbps shared. The correct part here is that this mainly did come from the days of old when uploading was not a concern and people pushed for higher download speeds.
How long did it take you to upload this video Linus?
probably about 5 minutes
Fight for UPLOAD speed and removal of data limits. It's the only way to keep Internet free, or at least remotely free.
PS. I upload +1.5TB daily, 500TB yearly. And not pron, games, music or films, just about important knowledge, documents, documentaries. And videos saved from youtube purges etc.

Where do you upload that to?
Which channel do you upload to?
Can the distribution of up/down be allocated dynamically? I think that would make every Internet connection much more convenient for whatever task you are using right at that moment
that means they cant charge you for faster speeds :/
When modem speeds went from 33kbps to 56kbps, the speeds were asynchronous: only the download speed was 56kbps while upload speeds were stick and 33kbps. It pretty much started there. The video hints why this was acceptable. Nowadays I feel it’s more about money since the cost of running a regional network provider to the internet is higher to send data out to other networks since you can charge more for data coming into it.

In the grand scheme of things when I moved onto Linux back in November last year, there has been noticeable spike in upload speed, which I am impressed with. Since that's the case, there is something fundamentally wrong with Windows as an operating system when it comes to upload speeds. And I am pretty much hoping on having this issue scrutinized, perhaps even you Linus. XD
Not sure, I can upload internally between windows machines at well above 700 Mbps (over 1 Gbps ethernet, above 2 Gbps over wifi 6 between phone and windows desktop)
While windows is known for having limitations, they should be so high that if you ain't running over 20 Gbps you shouldn't be encountering them. If you are, then yep Linux is better. If you are below that, chances are that... It's so happened you got a bump in internet speed at the same time you got rid of windows

Though in fairness, if I am to use Linux again, though, there needs to be some conditions met in order for me to consider going back to it, because VideoProc needs a Linux version, and until Samsung comes out with a new PSSD T8, which would hopefully be 100% Linux compatible, or perhaps look for different PSSD drives that could work very well with Linux, I won't be returning to it any time soon.
My upload speed finished downloading a dew years ago, now I read this headline earlier this year "Chorus supercharges New Zealand’s broadband with 10Gbps trial" That's symmetrical too.
The MPAA and RIAA (collectively known as the MAFIAA®) have more to do with this bandwidth throttling than you might think. They've pressured the industry into limiting upload speeds for decades, specifically to discourage "piracy".
Of course, it didn't work, but then neither has any of their other anti "piracy" measures either.
2019 and i have 200 down 4 up
Timothy Cummins dont feel bad, i have 100 down and 5 up 🤷🏼♂️
its 2019 and i have 3 down and .25 up, lmao i actually wish i was kidding. i get no service at my house as well so i cant use hotspot.
i watch all my videos in 480p, it takes like 8 minutes to download 100 megabytes, im sad
Its 2019 i have 5 down and 0.05 up
Right w/ you. I have 6 up and I'm on wifi. Oddly enough, we only use cable for the computers. I sometimes wonder if part of my issue is the router splitting the signal. Guess I won't be streaming. Also, while he's saying how great the future will be, these guys will most likely still keep the signal throttled back unless you pay a preminum price.
north america still using copper wires on 2019?
USA ISPs have little reason to upgrade their customers with their oligopoly over the populous. They charge a premium for fiber (if they even offer it at all), plus a bunch of rural territory still has at best satellite. Most new lines laid to new customers tends to be copper due to it being cheaper.
The lines are owned privately in most cases, so any competition needs capital to even start by laying their own lines, which is an infrastructure nightmare in itself. Many municipalities have also been captured by contracts that forces them to block new competition from moving in. Depending on where you live there may be no interest in the local government to do anything about it.
Our only real hope at this time is for states and municipalities to get their heads out of the sand and run and manage their own lines for internet like a utility similar to electricity or water. An example would be Chattanooga. If enough make the switch the larger private companies would actually have to compete with a better and cheaper product (after tossing millions into marketing and lobbying first of course). A more exotic solution would be competition from newer tech like usable and competitive wireless internet.
I'm not sure for Canada, but they also have a geography problem in the vastness of their land. Copper is cheaper so you can cover more land for the same investment.
centurylink is laying alot of fiber and in europe also
@Mekronid So no excuse for the UK to still be nearly all copper. Except that the government is so consumed by the self-inflicted wound of Brexit that it has been paralysed for years.
My true fiber is less cost than the main competitor's copper-to-fiber which the competitor just started offering this. They're still slow and charge a premium. 1gb/1gb for $55/month FiOS versus 100mb/10mb Charter Spectrum for $70/month. Spectrum only does this because they're the largest one here but FiOS has been expanding.
UK here is also still on a mix of fiber and copper.
I remember sitting through a Time Warner Cable session, where they explained that it was due to rampant piracy that they refused to up the upload speeds as it encouraged pirates to upload new content.
honestly kind of dumb because 10Mbps even though it is slow, you can still upload pirated content. Also, what are they doing to prevent people from DOWNLOADING the pirated content? nothing? then it doesn't matter.
pirates are gonna pirate. Let the companies and copyright holders protect their own content
The biggest reason I’m on Fios is the upload due to storing everything on the cloud. Your photos app, files app etc... store everything on the cloud anymore. Even a lot of backups! The faster upload speeds at 300mbps make it where I don’t even bother with local file sharing anymore with my PCs (& how unreliable it is with the new versions of Windows). My computers just upload to the cloud and then download on another computer via the cloud when I need it.
Biggest reason for faster upload speeds vs posting pictures and videos on social media.
So ted Stevens was right all along: The internet is a series of tubes
That single thread of cable shielding sticking out of the connector triggered my OCD.
Linus, what happened to all those people who were cryogenically frozen?
This is actually the reason why streaming to any platform is really hard for people that don't pay for better upload speeds
Stop talking about copper when you mean coax! Also, your ISP doesn't really "decide" this.
Answer: Too keep us from making money with "their" bandwidth via running servers. Bastards!
Precisely what I was going to say, before I saw your comment, and I wonder why it wasn't mentioned in the video. This is a business & money issue much more than technical. ISPs just DON'T WANT us to make money off of their connection.
Yep. If you want to make money they want you to pay for a business connection with symmetrical speeds. It's almost $2k a month for our 200/200 fiber.
That's kinda stupid, no much long ago, there was a "bug" on my ISP whose upload speeds increased from 2Gbps to 64Gbps, it lasted like 1 month. Thanks Movistar 💩
MaxAltair You get 2 Gbps upload? Wtf?
My first broadband was Adelphia Powerlink with 256k down and upload wasn't supported over the cable and dialup 33.6k was all I had. So I'm happy with 400/20.
"often" fits the phenomenon pretty well. I have a 100/100 mbit/s synchronous connection for my home connection for more than seven years now
Is this some American joke I'm too European to understand?
American....?? Linus is Canadian
And Canada is in which continent?
USA isn't a continent, it's a country. Canada, USA and Mexico are all a part of the the North American continent.
Bruh
Actually Mexico isn't part of North America. I learn that in Geography.
135.7 kbps gang

How crazy high the ISP prices are in the US never ceases to amaze me...
What about the links in between your ISP and the service(s) you're accessing? By the way most data transfer protocols are implemented, it would seem that the data speed would definitely be limited to the weakest link in the travel path.
