I think most if not all cable packages will have crippled upload speeds. Not only to stop people hosting stuff on their private lines, but it also saves bandwidth on the cable. They rather assign channels to more download speed than symmetrical upload, because that is what sells. With fiber a symmetrical line won't cost anything extra in terms of bandwidth, so it would make no sense to cripple it.
In the end only a very small proportion of the public needs high upload, and yet smaller needs it to be up 24/7 (business grade by now). I think for content creators it would even suffice to have a 100Mbit upload line for only 4 hours a week, on-demand. You could upload 175GB in 4 hours theoratically, so if careful that's plenty to upload 1 youtube video per day at 10GB a pop. However I guess the hardware on the street is the problem.
1Mbit internet in 2016 is ridiculous though. I still do know some people in NL that have ADSL because they live in remote area's, and I feel for them. They can basically only read the news online and hope to watch 1 YT when it's done prebuffering for 15 minutes. Online gaming is only possible when you turn off all other programs that communicate with the internet. I can't imagine basically 80% of the house holds in a country having to deal with that. It just plain sucks. Information is power, and the internet has it.
I think the most basic ethernet connection I can get through cable here is 20Mbit/2Mbit from KPN. However that provider is generally very expensive. Most other companies offer 40/4 or 50/5 as their basic package. Costs around 30-40 euro per month. Usually for 5-10 euro's extra you get telephone and television extra.
I currently have access to ethernet line from university campus, and get crazy speeds like 820Mbit down and 940Mbit up as of now with reasonably reliability (obviously it's a very stressed network). Don't want to sound like a dick (probably still do), but I will be spoiled when I move out of here back to a 100/10 connection.
Yet it is strictly forbidden to appoint any DNS record to my IP, so I can't host anything here unless I get explicit permission that it's for research, college or student life related stuff.
