The Internet as a whole can sure be a strange beast sometimes. I have a friend in Ohio who has gigabit symmetric AT&T fiber. His uploads are awesome and I'd love to have that kind of upload in my apartment complex. But his download speeds don't make any sense, but I don't think it's AT&T's fault. My friend also has servers in various locations, the closest to him of which is in Chicago. When I download one of my test files from that Chicago server, I get a blazing fast Speed of about 30 megabits per second, roughly 3 percent of his download potential. But it gets odder still. If I download a file from my Backblaze B2 storage, hosted in California, to my friend's home file server in Ohio, I can easily sustain over 300 megabits, around 30 percent of his download. But here's the oddest one. My friend has a dedicated server in Texas, on a multi gigabit uplink to the internet, and when I download data from there to Ohio, I achieve a download speed of just 4 megabits per second! That's just 0.4 percent of what my friend should be able to achieve. Hell, I can upload faster than that on an LTE connection!
