Verizon gives both 300 mbps upload and download speeds. Uploads are more heavily oversubscribed on FiOS, primarily because GPON gives 2.5gbps downloads and 1.25gbps uploads.
But then again the upload will be barely utilized by typical residential Internet users.
Still my recommendation is to test your bandwidth in multiple ways first, be it speedtest.net, or (better yet) https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli, or iperf3 servers, if you can find any near your location.
If tests show that you do get near 300 Mbit both directions, the next step would be to just set up two instances of Tor, as I suggested before in your thread[1]. Actually fun to see my prediction from back then coming true precisely (with regard to getting only 200 Mbit).

Running two instances is the universal solution which should improve Tor's bandwidth utilization on almost any connection.
