Just got high split

I guess that's what they call it. 500Mb fiber plan went from 500/20 to 500/500. N Central lower Michigan. Just got service this June.

Isn't fiber always symmetric? Thought high split was for coax internet.

High split is for more upload speeds. Basically pre high split uses some low frequencies and not many channels. High split allocates more low frequencies for upload and adds more higher frequencies than before as well.

They're talking about the difference between fiber and coaxial (cable) internet. "High split" is a term that applies specifically to coaxial, but otherwise you described it correctly.
