True but we lost 20 years in the process.

The pushing/rolling out tiny upload/ big download ADSL over symmetrical dsl was a deliberate decision on the part of the Telcos. I worked in the telco network space back then.

In the late 90s/early 00s I had a 10m/10m cable connection and was able to host multiplayer game servers from my apartment.

I moved out of the cable area, and it was 20 years before I had 10m upload again. So the game servers died and these days self-hosted multiplayer games are basically nonexistent compared to corp hosted games that shut down when they want you to move to this years version.
