The 100 Mbps local access is a suggestion.

There wasn't any result from that informal talk. Ish and I were
asked what would home users do with 100 Mbps. In my opinion, it
would give that ISP an advantage over its competitors. As I said,
this is a suggestion instead of a debate about what an ISP would do.

The upload speed would have to match the download speed increase for
