I'd say 10 Mbps uploads are good enough to divert subsidies to those who don't have them. Indeed it's not the time to consider them worthlessly obsolete (like below-megabit connections) and necessary to replace yet. Something like d30/u10 still is OK. Investing in anything below gigabit for new cables to households which didn't have any seems an obvious waste though. I would even make sure the cables are capable of conducting 10 or more gigabits per second to make the investment future-proof. By the way, perhaps it's time to stop calling 100 Mbps and slower connection "broadband".
