Re: Upstream bandwidth usage

[Mel Beckman <mel () beckman org>]

With 430 GB versus 32 GV average down versus up usage today, according to your article, this is still not a case for 
symmetrical consumer bandwidth. Yes, the upstream usage increased slightly more than the downstream usage. But the 
ratio was still so big that it would take decades for them to join. I doubt they ever will. Consumers just don’t have 
that much days up to push yet, and probably never will.

Also, a lot of that Usage can be explained by video conferencing during Covid, which has dropped off significantly 
already.
