What's different about this speed bump is that suddenly upload and download are closer together than was ever possible before. When we moved in a few years ago there were no options that provided >10 Mbps up but <=300 Mbps down. Now all of the sudden I'm on a 20 Mbps down plan with 300 up.

I'm skeptical that they just coincidentally matched the new minimum upload speed after years of insisting that residential plans could make do with 6.
