Except for Comcast, because of PowerBoost, (and the like)
this only occurs with POTS (dial-up) internet service.
With 56K dial-up, it usually shows a 200+ Kbps upload:

It appears that 56K's V.92 and possibly V.90 compression, is the cause.

What FIOS plan is that, that you are getting speeds that require a Gigabit NIC??

Looks like ADSL 1 or ADSL 2 without "fast-path" unfortunately. (A.K.A. "interleaved" mode unfortunately.)
(Otherwise you should get less than 20 ms at a 50-mile-apart server.)
Is that the new Quantum package or something?What FIOS plan is that, that you are getting speeds that require a Gigabit NIC??

I just checked the price on Verizon's site. $210 a month for that 300/65 plan, $205 if you get a 2 year contract. 
They do have a 150/65 plan for half the price though, which considering how much current pricing plans are for all in one deals from cable companies, actually isn't that bad.

yeah i just upgraded from the 150/65 plan
What the heck do you need that for? $200 for intewebz......Ballin!
I may jump to the 150/65 plan once I ditch cable... but ditching cable makes my 1080p TV's practically useless.
need? what's need ever got to do with geek stuff

BrightHouse in Clearwater here.
$75 a month I think the wife said, she does the billing
And did this test while she was running her desktop on wifi in the other room, does what it's stated to do I guess I do like that upload rate, but no FIOS in my area atm.

But, is it anything like Comcast's PowerBoost?
If there is, I bet you get 12 Mb down and 1.7 Mb up at best after around 50 MB.

I was getting 120Mbps from ORIGIN servers tonight (2GB update in about 3 minutes), and about 110Mbps from Steam....a bit faster than before so I had to test again....speedtest servers over here are not scoring as high, but I prefer real world performance anyhow
This faster service was "free and transparent to me"....still paying about $70 per month.
BTW - the server I tested against is bout 500 miles away in Tokyo, some glitch in their website shows me in Europe
