My home isp can't even do symmetrical gigabit, let alone ipv6...

That's extremely common unless on "active" fiber (vs GPON, DOCSIS3, DSL, most fixed wireless, satellite, mobile, etc.)

Your wifi isn't symmetrical either.

Those are designed to have static asymmetrical bandwidth though, *dm split gives ISP side more of possible shared bandwidth. Wifi bandwidth is shared and dynamic so client can use all of it.

Yes, that's why I said that?
