Is there any plan to ever change these upload speeds? I read this was a decision that was made to attempt to combat congestion in certain neighborhoods during Covid, but that doesn't seem like it should still be a concern. 500/10 is pretty ridiculously lopsided when compared to other carries, verizon for example, that offer 300/300 plans, or something similar. Will this ever change?
Just looking at the facts. If you want to compare apples and apples compare Cox fiber to FIOS fiber. BTW, I have FIOS.
Most of the time people are getting information FROM the internet versus sending information, That's why it's lopsided.
If they are just watching Netflix you're correct. Some people need more upload and its just a bummer there is no option for it unless you upgrade all the way up to a gig plan

Perhaps I am wrong, but can't you still get the Ultimate Classic 300 plan with a upload of 30Mbps as shown here? Oh and sorry if I came off as a Cox fan boy.
I agree with this post. 10Mbps is not sufficient anymore. I NEEEEEEEEED faster upload speeds!
500/10 is pretty normal for cable or HFC. FIOS is fiber or FTTH so it is apple and oranges IMO. If you want higher then 10Mbps then get a DOCSIS 3.1 modem and get the Classic 300/30Mbps plan.
As for when that will ever change, maybe in a couple years when DOCSIS 4.0 comes out.
the "classic" 300/30 plan does not exist with cox anymore{so they keep telling me}, found this out when i was unwillingly switched from it to a 500/10 and the refuse to switch me back.
