In practice it's not that great. I hosted meetings on Zoom with 4-5mbps up (based on my tests and my recollection since it's been a year-ish). It was fine until my wife connected separately. So 0.6mbps is optimistic... or for people with very high pain thresholds.

I always mentally equate low upload limits with "the ISP wants to make sure you don't run a server". Or "this internet connection is just a way to watch TV". Which I find very sad. You can do a lot more than just consume other people's creative work on the internet. Some creative things don't need much upstream bandwidth (cough cough github) but there are also a lot of things (e.g. sharing videos of your craft projects) that are much more pleasant with more upload speed.
