I'm not sure ratio is the right thing to focus upon - especially as asymmetry has grown the last few years due to the rising using of streaming video services and greater availability of 4K-resolution content. Ratio seems like more a reflection of current applications and usage patterns. (It would be fascinating to see a non-US FTTH provider that was 1G/1G or greater share their actual usage ratio.)
Symmetric services on GPON are usually mostly marketing, on the basis that even in 2021, most customers will have a higher download profile than an upload one.
Selling 1Gbps/1Gbps bleeds the shelves faster than 1Gbps/5Mbps. Mark.
