But by this you are buying into the myth of the mean.
It isn't that most, or even many, people would take advantage of equal
upstream bandwidth, but that the few who would need to take extra
measures unrelated to the generation of that content to be able to do so.
Given symmetrical provisioning, no extra measures need to be taken when
that 10 year old down the street turns out to be a master musician.

This is true in our measurements today, even when subscribers are given
symmetrical connections. It might change at some point in the future,
especially when widespread IPv6 lets us get rid of NAT as a de facto
deployment reality.

How about this? Show me 10 users in the average neighborhood creating
content at 5 mbps....Period. Only realistic app I see is home surveillance
but I don't think you want everyone accessing that anyway. The truth is
that the average user does not create content that anyone needs to see.
This has not changed throughout the ages, the ratio of authors to readers,
artists to art lovers, musicians to music lovers, YouTube cat video creator
to cat video lovers, has never been a many to many relationship.

Consider a group of 10 users, who all create new content. If each one
creates at a constant rate of 5 mbits, they need 5 up. But to
download all the new content from the other 9, they need close to 50
down.
And when you expand to several billion people creating new content,
you need a *huge* pipe down.
