According to speedtest:
Your Internet connection should be able to handle multiple devices streaming HD videos, video conferencing, and gaming at the same time.

Understood, but this isn't the issue of this thread. The issue is Quantum in some areas here un the Villages may be delivering slower internet speeds than they are advertising and having customers pay for.
In response to your post:
For cable sysems, there is a bandwidth limit with the physical cable so they use most of the bandwidth for download which is most important and then the remander for upload. This is why with cable internet you get very slow upload speeds no matter which company you subscribe to. Traditionally, this has not been an issue but with cloud backups, video conferencing and other work at home services utilizing upload more, and because of competition with Fiber Internet, cable companies have been recently comming out with faster upload speeds. Unfortunately, these newer systems are not yet available to us here in the Villages.
With fiber internet, there is plenty of bandwidth for bi-directional speeds meaning same speeds download and upload.
