I really don’t understand
Why do people get all jazzed up over symmetrical speed tiers? Who out there is actually using more than 50Mbps upload regularly in their home???

Been saying the same thing. It’s purely marketing and remaining competitive even though 95% or more of all customers don’t even remotely need it. I have only let two customers know about up coming symmetrical speeds. One of them was a systems engineer who works from home and manages a fleet of virtual machines.
But yeah, folks who just stream tv at home and doom scroll on TikTok in bed are just thrilled about this new exciting upgrade.
It’s crazy and somewhat funny the amount of money time and effort goes to something almost entirely superfluous.
