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.)
