But the way we use the internet is changing, and that\u00a0<em>other\u00a0<\/em>number on your internet contract is becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Connection_Is_Probably_Asymmetrical\"><\/span>Your Connection Is (Probably) Asymmetrical<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most home internet connections are asymmetrical. This means that the download speed is different from the upload speed. In other words, the rate at which you can send information is different from the rate at which you can receive it.<\/p>\n<p>This asymmetry is almost always in favor of download speed, so you might have 500Mbps of peak download speed, but only 50Mbps of upload speed. There\u2019s a good chance that when you chose your internet plan, you didn\u2019t pay as much attention to the second number that denotes upload speed. But there are a few reasons why you\u2019ll probably want a symmetrical internet connection (in other words, a connection that has as much upload speed as it has download speed) in the near future, if not already today!<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cloud_Must_Be_Fed\"><\/span>The Cloud Must Be Fed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cloud storage and services make our lives much easier land it\u2019s good to know that you have terabytes of storage space for your <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> and backups in a world-class data center somewhere. However, if you\u2019ve ever tried to sync your multi-terabyte OneDrive or iCloud account on a new computer, you\u2019ve probably seen the remaining time tick up into days or weeks.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s mainly a small subset of power users who make such heavy use of the cloud, regular users will soon appreciate being able to use cloud services at the same speed in both directions. We\u2019re pumping more and more data upstream from our smartphones and computers. The quality of our photos and videos is growing and often we share content between our own devices by first sending them to the cloud and downloading them.<\/p>\n<p>With symmetrical bandwidth, all of these cloud-based tasks become faster and more convenient. Ultimately, you can start treating your cloud resources like local storage.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accessing_Your_Home_Network_Remotely\"><\/span>Accessing Your Home Network Remotely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Today, it\u2019s possible to access your home computer via remote desktop, your game console through remote internet streaming, and your home media server from anywhere in the world. As we build our home network resources, there are plenty of times when we want to use them even when not at home.<\/p>\n<p>If you have symmetrical internet bandwidth, then you\u2019re going to have a much better time accessing your home network resources at work, on holiday, or out and about on mobile data.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for smart devices such as thermostats, security cameras, and every other appliance that now has a Wi-Fi chip in it. If you want to manage your smart home even when you\u2019re not home, you want enough upstream bandwidth to make it seamless.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Content_Makers_Dream\"><\/span>A Content Maker\u2019s Dream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re creating content for YouTube, uploading high-resolution photographic projects, or live-streaming to your Twitch audience, then having fast upstream bandwidth is a high priority. If you live in a household with several people who are trying to get their content out there, it becomes even more important!<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Essential_Work-From-Home_Service\"><\/span>The Essential Work-From-Home Service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to a global work-from-home\u00a0shift that seems here to stay, there\u2019s never been a more critical time to upgrade your upstream bandwidth. This is especially true if you\u2019re hooked into the company VPN and need to access software services and content on the company intranet. If you\u2019re only uploading those crucial project files at a tenth of your download speeds, your boss probably isn\u2019t going to appreciate you taking things down to the wire!<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Future_Applications_Will_Demand_It\"><\/span>Future Applications Will Demand It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While many of the internet applications we already use today are already hungry for more upstream bandwidth, that\u2019s nothing compared to what\u2019s coming in the future. Cloud storage is going to grow and become ever faster.
