I guess I got spoiled with the 25 - 50Mbps upload speeds I was getting on my phone with  Verizon  because in the 2 weeks I've had T-Mobile I seldom get over 1Mbps at my home. A search revealed others with this problem so I'm wondering if anyone has ever had slow uploads resolved by calling the support number. I guess I should have asked my neighbor before I switched since he told me he's had to drive around town to upload a file if his power is out. I have a great signal and good downloads but I've seen uploads in the 1.0Mbps range and never over 2.

Good upload speeds are anything over 10mbps.

My average upload speeds at work is 15 to 20.

At home I rarely use my Tmobile connection since I have about 5 giant apartment complexes that limits speeds. It's all location.

I would take anything over 5Mbps right now. I lose power now and then and having uploads are critical so I'll probably be going back to Verizon, the . 2Mbps uploads won't cut it.

Depending on what connection I have, its typically 10Mbps at the min, and upwards to ~50Mbps.

Oddly enough, indoors (T-Mobile home internet) gives me 250/70 on n71 + LTE B2, while it would be ~350/20 with n41 + B2.

If your signal is weak, especially on a 5G n41 band, you’ll suffer on upload.

I get 30Mbps up where I am fairly consistently.  Around Hampton and the surrounding area, speeds up to 100Mbps up are out there.  Gloucester Point is a perfect example.
