<p>On a side note (TX vs RX): <br>
</p>
<p>When people look at the "speed" of Internet connections, there's
often a focus on "down" as opposed to "up". <br>
</p>
<p>For folk working from home using cloud storage for audio or video
content that they edit, not having a lot of "up" is an issue.<br>
</p>
<p>Here's what to expect around our neck of the woods:</p>

(page 7 and 9)</p>
<p>Now one of the interesting bits about Starlink is that its uplink
performance is really not that great in comparison to downlink
here in NZ - pretty much the worst of the current technologies:</p>

<p>This agrees with what I've seen here personally. ADSL in
non-fibre areas generally now means "miles from the DSLAM", as
does VDSL. DSLAM-side crosstalk tends to be the limiting factor
there. <br>
<br>
Non-fibre areas also generally mean "far from the base station".
HFC is available in only a few select areas here as NZ does not
have large cable networks.<br>

Correct. It's a hardware limitation. A switch inside connects
antenna <br>
elements to transmitter or receiver chains.<br>
Plus, each Dishy can do TX only in specified time slots. TX slots
depend <br>
on the allowed duty cycle and are defined by a global scheduler.<br>
