I would like to see net neutrality force uploads and downloads on service provided to consumers be equal. 50megabit service, allows 50megabit upload.



No, you actually dont. All ISPs operate on oversubscribing each available meg. If they did what you are proposing, the only options would be 1 mb up/down stream, 3 MB up/down speed, and 5 mb up/down speed.

Many ISPs have 100-10,000x over subscriptions per meg


I think asymmetric links and oversubscribed link are apples and oranges.


how so?
