Most of it is not symmetrical though.

Upload speeds across the board are 10x slower than download speeds, meaning many people need to get a more expensive plan than necessary just to not hit upload speed limits.

Can we get better 4/5G speeds next? And especially improve speeds during peak usage. My speed ranges from like 6-60Mbps depending on time of day on 4G with a proper antenna connected to a 4G router. Speed test on my phone which supports 5G isn't much better so not bothered to upgrade to a 5G router yet.
