Bad regulation. Ofcom is allowing Openreach to keep asymmetric pricing for FTTP. Unjustified market segmentation.

The govt has a focus on download speeds (which are useful for high quality video) and does not care about upload or latency which filters down.

On reflection, even the the terms "upload" and "download" are based on the assumption connections are for consuming media.
