You are correct traditionally download speed was only important but
Upload speed is more important these days for people with cameras. Unless you have a local server the camera uploads the video to a cloud server then back done to your device. With slow cable upload speeds sending a higher resolution video from a doorbell camera or security cameras works but is very slow. Also, if you backup your PC for
Example, that initial full backup and any other subsequent full backups will be very painful with slow upload speeds. Cable doesn’t offer the same upload and download speeds because the cable itself is limited so they use most of the bandwidth for download and a small amount for upload. Fiber doesn’t have this limitation.
