Higher minimum upload speeds will be more impactful than cranking download speed even higher.
100/100 is way, way better than 500/20.
Upload speed is what enriches the two-way internet - servers, content uploads, high quality videoconferencing, cloud backups. Prioritising download speed is keeping us in the broadcast era.
