The Power of Asymmetrical Speeds: Why You Don’t Need Symmetry

In today’s digital age, internet speeds have become a fundamental part of our daily lives. But when it comes to choosing an internet service provider, the conversation often revolves around the symmetry of speeds – the idea that upload and download rates should be equal.

At Empire Access, we offer a different approach. Our internet plans come with asymmetrical speeds, and we’re here to explain why this is a sensible choice for most users. 

Understanding Asymmetrical Speeds

To start, let’s clarify what we mean by asymmetrical speeds. For instance, our 1 Gbps plan provides a lightning-fast 1,000 Mbps for downloads and 100 Mbps for uploads. This may seem imbalanced when compared to competitors offering symmetrical 1,000 / 1,000 speeds.

However, the key to understanding the advantages of asymmetrical speeds is acknowledging that most users don’t fully utilize symmetrical speeds. 

The Reality of User Needs

Symmetrical speeds are often advertised as a game-changer, but the truth is, the vast majority of residential users don’t require the same upload speed as their download speed.

For typical online activities like streaming, gaming, and browsing, the emphasis is on download speeds. As a result, the enormous upload bandwidth symmetrical plans offer may go largely unused. 

Cost-Effective Solutions

One of the key benefits of choosing an asymmetrical plan is the cost-effectiveness it offers. Symmetrical speeds can be expensive, and why pay for a service you won’t fully utilize?

By providing faster download speeds at a lower cost, we ensure that you get the best value for your money. 

Balancing Network Resources

Empire Access’s approach to asymmetrical speeds allows us to allocate network resources more efficiently. This means we can provide a consistently reliable online experience for all our users.

By prioritizing download speeds for the activities that matter most to our customers, we can ensure that everyone enjoys a seamless internet connection, even during peak hours. 

Future-Proofing Your Internet 

Our asymmetrical plans don’t just meet your current needs; they’re designed to adapt to the changing digital landscape.

As technology evolves, so will our services, ensuring that your internet connection remains up-to-date and relevant for years to come. 

At Empire Access, we believe that asymmetrical speeds offer a practical, cost-effective, and forward-thinking solution for our customers. While symmetrical speeds are impressive on paper, the reality is that most users won’t tap into their full potential.

We’re proud to offer internet plans that balance performance, practicality, and affordability to meet the everyday needs of our valued customers.
