Yeah, I think more home connections going symmetric could open up big personal computing applications that haven’t been super practical before, and make a market for easy-to-use personal home servers. Even just personal media streaming while traveling can benefit greatly from upload being boosted past the 10mbit up that’s somewhat common among cable ISPs. Having a symmetric connection also removes one of the mental constraints that we have at the back of our minds.

It’s my biggest hope for internet re-decentralization.
