For many residential services, you&amp;#x27;re looking at asymmetrical up&amp;#x2F;down speeds, and they usually advertise the higher download number only.&lt;p&gt;This is normally fine since you most people download way more than they upload and don&amp;#x27;t run servers in their homes, but when you route everything &lt;i&gt;through&lt;/i&gt; your home, you may be limited by upload speeds.</text></comment>
