Interesting. I wonder why they wouldn’t advertise their upload speeds then. I’ve called Comcast about numerous locations and they would never promise me any upload performance, which I take to mean that they are not willing to upgrade their network in the event people saturate it, or more houses are added to the neighbors.

I'm guessing that, up until streaming started to take off, it was mostly irrelevant because it was, and still is for many, sufficient.

Having asymmetrical channel bonding allows cable providers to use cheaper equipment and still offer gigabit download speeds.
