There is a limit above which downstream becomes somewhat useless, and 50Mbps or even 25Mbps is probably that point. But at least offer decent upstream to match

But at least offer decent upstream to match it. The simple fact is that you often get barely enough upstream to transfer the TCP ACKs needed to utilize your downstream. It's the television model translated to the Internet, where consumers are just that: people consuming data and content. Not creating them.
