Yes. But I'm asking: what is the need for it?

If you want and are willing to spend the money go ahead. But I'm asking for the use-case.

I used my symmetrical upload for work. I'd copy virtual machines home to fix and then copy them back. I hosted VMs that I used as a template. I'd host huge ISOs so I didn't have to carry install DVDs with me.

Past that, it's pretty sweet to be able to access every bit of my home network as if I were there.

But then I moved to an area with one internet option, a cable ISP. I now drive a LOT more than I used to.

Ever transfer a file more than a few hundred gigs? This makes that take less time. Even if I’m only pulling down files at 1800 mbps Ive got plenty of headroom for everything else.
