I am seriously considering buying a new MB with a USB-C port, but there is one thing holding me back.
That is my upload speeds. My ISP upload speed is atrocious and I know this is really a worldwide thing. My house is decked out and is fully Wireless, using a NetGear Modem/Router and I have a WiFi extender to hot the bedrooms, as well as having my TimeCapsule hard wired to it, to supply my AppleTV and my backups.
I can easily download a 1GB file in under 5 minutes, but what trips my rage is my upload speeds. Its takes 20+ mins to upload a simple 100mb movie or less. Apple is making us hit the wireless world with this beautiful MB and I would love to buy one, but if I need to transfer a movie, music, a Aperture Library, or 10-15 RAW images, I have been using a USB, and I would love to be able to upload them to dropbox, go to my iMac, download them, and then delete them from dropbox, BUT, my ISP has made this near on impossible
Do others have this problem ?? If your ISP gave you half you download speed to upload, would you take it ?? If you could upload quickly to the cloud, would this give you a interest in the new MacBook's ??
What are your thoughts on this ??
Here is a great article covering the whole kit and caboodle . . . . Why the new MacBook's single port is all you really need - Macworld Australia - Macworld Australia
I think is about time, that the ISP's of the world, stood up and took notice, and realise we are in the 21st Century, and we NEED fast upload speeds, and we need them NOW !!!!
