I spend half a year in Europe and I have 2.5Gbps down & 1Gbps up for the equivalent of $12/month. Honestly can’t beat that. And I also never witnessed it go down like ever.

AT&T took first place for the fastest average upload speed at 81.4 Mbps with Verizon in second at 68.1 Mbps – both providers benefitting from more fiber symmetrical offerings.

For consistency and video, Comcast’s Xfinity took first place. Verizon came in second for consistency with Spectrum in third.

And for the video experience, Spectrum came in second with Verizon in third.
