Didn't work because asymmetric upload/download speeds (which now are a thing of the past; however, it gave youtube an early advantage).

1000/40 is rather asymmetric and the fastest service available in my area.

Now largely more feasible. We should try again.

Guess why it was asymmetrical in the first place ... Telcos wanted to sell the upload bandwidth to streaming companies. Another double dipping Telco monopoly squeeze and customer boxing / enshitification from very early on.
