most consumers don't need upload speeds. they aren't uploading anything. most people's internet traffic is like 99.9% streaming videos at this point.

    Well the rest (0.1%) needs good upload speed for their home servers. /s

    Companies with lots of traffic certainly needs fast uplinks.

    So upload speeds are not irrelevant and needs to accompany downloads speed for the health of the Internet infrastructure, as it trickles down to the households eventually.
