You may want to scroll down to the “throughput” section, instead of looking at the theoretical max.

The theoretical max up and download aren’t additive. It’s like saying that an egg carton can hold a max of 12 white eggs or 12 brown eggs. Good luck putting 24 eggs in it.

The DOCSIS standards carve up the available throughput, using some of that for upload and some for download.
