> in the worst case you might get barely 20 Mbps upload capacity

"in the worst case" being the key point, and frankly, 20 Mbps doesn't actually sound too bad as the theoretical minimum.

In practice you're unlikely to hit situations where this is a problem even if everyone was hosting their blog/homelab/SaaS/etc.

This is only a problem (and your ISP will end up giving you hell for it) if you're hosting a media service and are maxing out the uplink 24/7. For most services (even actual SaaS) it's unlikely to be the case.

I’m on Comcast cable internet and 20Mbps is my maximum with 12Mbps peak and 8Mbps sustained being more typical.

It wouldn’t work for high bandwidth hosting, but works fine for residential and for 4 simultaneous video calls mostly all-day long during COVID.
