                  Symmetrical speed is when your download and upload speeds are the same. This is important for many online activities that require uploading such as live-streaming, video chat, or have cloud-based technology like wireless smart home security cameras. If you’ve ever tried to sit through a class or business meeting and been met with a glitchy, pixelated experience, or had to wait for a batch of files and pictures to be uploaded to social media, your upload speed was likely to blame.                Pay attention to the next cable internet advertisement you see, unlike fiber, you’ll notice that they usually advertise only the download speed, which is for receiving data, not sending.

Temporary drops, or “temp drops” for short are a solution  we can use while we wait for better weather condition. What is a temporary drop?
