       | For example a randomly chosen Comcast "gigabit" speed

       | Mbps up.

       | customers fed from a particular node.
       | 
       | Same for many WISPs which allocate bandwidth in PtMP radio
       | systems at an 85:15 ratio down/up, or starlink, or most other
       | consumer grade last mile DIA systems.
