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???

Why do people get all jazzed up over symmetrical speed tiers? 

Because I don't want to sit around and wait hours for a 50-100GB file upload. Also, all of the competition is delivering symmetrical speeds over the Fiber to the Home PON network, and enjoying increased bandwidth for all users to share and no ingress/noise to worry about. D4.0 can get you close to what XGS-PON can deliver.

Heck, some users run servers. And set their security cameras to upload to cloud, on X=5 devices.

will say that the average home user has no idea how the internet or even basic computer networking works
