    Altice (Optimum) took this opportunity to cut upload speeds from 35mbps to 20 under the guise of the “free upgrade”. You want your old upload speeds back? Oh that’s their most expensive tier now.

      Same for my “XFinity” (Comcast) service. Literally the only plan with more than 20 up is the most expensive tier with 1200/35. Sadly, it has been that way for several years… but this year they had no choice but to jack up all rates across the board so the most expensive tier is now $30 more expensive ($90 -> $120). No other competition so… that’s that.
