this seems like the wrong question to ask. Or at least a short-sighted question. One question to ask is: "If I have to upgrade from X to 1gbps for my infrastructure over the next 5 years, what's the outlay in capex/opex?" followed by: "What's my cost recovery plan now that I know what the bill will be?" Some of that might be USF, some might be fees from subscribers, etc. Being a gatekeeper to what folk can do at home seems ... not terrific, though.
I want decent upload speeds for offsite backups of my home NAS. But no, upload is usually some pitiful fraction of download. The local cable
having symmetric speeds over 20mbps certainly is nice, as a user living in that world.
