Why does Openserve have contention on their products, fiber providers like VUMA has no contention ratios?

Is it possible to get a symmetrical line with Openserve? I feel cheated

Are you not getting the advertised speeds?

synthetical line?

Are you referring to using GPON which is split amongst users, versus active ethernet?
 
their 100meg uncapped packages show 100meg down and 50meg up, which is not symmetrical, i would like to know if i could get a package of 100\100 which it symmetrical

No. I speak under correction but that might change in the future.

Symmetrical fibre allows simultaneous use of download and upload bandwidth as I understand it. I wonder if symmetrical speeds are technically possible on Openserve, but just not the simultaneous use thereof. Because if so, where the fk is my 100Mbps upload.

i am very sure that they are capable of doing what ever VUMA can do. i just think they limit the upload because it is useless to most people.

i wont use that much upload but id like to have a symmetrical line

No symmetrical means the down and up are the same speed, with asymmetrical you can simultaneously use the up & down, the up is just slower than the down.
 
Not sure about openserve but is it downloads and upload capacity not bought seperate from big network providers or in teraco data center ?

If it involves redoing the entire network, then Openserve can't change the technology they're using for the fibre network.

I don't mean being able to download and upload simultaneously, which any connection can obviously do, but achieve full speed for both simultaneously. There's probably a term for it that I'm not aware of or have forgotten. You can't download at 100Mbps and upload at 50Mbps at the same time on Openserve.

(Maybe no connection can, but I was under the impression that the indie fibre networks do allow true simultaneous 100/100 speeds)
