I'm on a Vodafone VDSL 2 (Chorus). I'm currently getting 24.1 Mbit/s up and 1.2 Mbit/s down. Is there any way to increase the upload speed even by sacrificing the download speed?

My modem stats are:

Chorus have told me that "For Copper, downstream traffic will always be a lot higher than upstream. If VDSL was close to the cabinet, the difference between Download and Upload speed would be closer together, the further they are, the wider the difference and this is not something we are able to change via a profile."

I'm in Ardmore and even though fibre is 100m away it's $50k, so looks like my only option to improve video calls is Starlink? I welcome anyone's suggestions, including if there's a way to somehow get UFB in our area.
