Telmex infinitum speed increases

[kasugie]

Telmex and everybody else are only increasing download speeds, and in my opinion, they are accomplishing this NOT by increasing bandwidth, but by making their existing bandwidth more asymmetrical. If you've been measuring your upload speed, you'll recognize that it's been declining.

I have Telmex 10 Mbps service and am getting 5 Mpbs download speeds, but only 0.6 Mbps upload speeds (0.8 tops, but sometimes even worse than 0.6). This is barely enough bandwidth for a decent Skype videochat, let alone attempt to transmit higher resolution video.

Both iUSACell and Movistar have also increased their 3G download speeds with a corresponding decrease in upload speeds.

4G users in the U.S. have the same complaints.
