there is a reason that comcast et al basically have like a 1 gig upload on a 100 gig down connection.

Because they're limited on channels and allocate more of them for increased download speed because most people upload very little data comparatively.

The bandwidth cap is just a pure money grab as they removed the caps during covid when everyone was video calling and sitting around online at home and 'somehow' their network handled it just fine.

None of this has anything to do with piracy.
