It is interesting to measure speeds. The local company that I'm connected to via wifi has a download speed of 300 mbps. However, they limit upload to only 10. A swindle, I'd say.

The majority of consumer internet is engineered to provide an abundance of bandwidth for download while limiting upload, simply because that's what the majority of people require.

Limited upload speeds also limit illegal content sharing.

That depends on how dedicated you are when it comes to sharing media. [emoticon]

We used to uncap our cable modems back in the day to get unlimited bandwidth, both up and down.

1 terrabyte = 1024 gigabytes
1 GB = 1024 Megabytes

1 TB = 1,048,576 MB

Broadcast HDTV 720p or 1080i transport stream avgerages 6GB File per Hr of Video when I recorded "Lucifer" or "Grimm" or "Lethal Weapon",

Expand that to 4k video and file streams are exponentially larger
I don't have a 4k tv
And my equipment doesnt record in 4k
Fyi i don't upload torrents and video,
What i record from Broadcast or streaming is personal use, just like my vcr days, when i taped every episode of every star trek series including Original, during syndication reruns, "Deep Space Nine" being my favorite series

1st episode of "Halo" streamed and recorded from Paramount+ 30 minutes runtime 720p, 2.4gb mp4 video file ,thats 4.8gb per hr,
Streaming services use more data compression, than OTA broadcasting,
One reason being software related and two way communication , the receiving device can request any dropped data blocks, it can also be updated when the service introduces new more efficient data streams

Oops sorry i get long winded on some topics

I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !
