  Yes, so? So it’s fine to for literally no reason forcibly limit it? Just because old people don’t need 1tb phones doesn’t mean we should just make all iPhones 256mb phones.

  Well the rest (0.1%) needs good upload speed for their home servers. /s

  Companies with lots of traffic certainly needs fast uplinks.

  So upload speeds are not irrelevant and needs to accompany downloads speed for the health of the Internet infrastructure, as it trickles down to the households eventually.
