Roam is effectively the data plan, this is a new hardware dish, but I suspect it will be the preferred dish for most Roam plans.

Except if it's 1/4th of the bandwidth, in which case it won't be the preferred dish for many who actually work in remote places.
It would be interesting to know the average Roam user profile - I suspect that most don't need multiple simultaneous HD streams or the ability to transfer massive files quickly. I suspect many are RVers or people who just want to check email, make a video call that doesn't need to be high-res, and maybe browse social media.

But point taken that many users will want an upgrade option

Lots of people working on the road say the upload speeds are already problematic for them in certain areas, as the usual mobile plans are deprioritized.
