Symmetric (both up and down simultaneously) speed tests: Huge gap in the market

This is not new information: If a router/switch is advertised for 1Gbps/1Gbps, it can be very sneaky and only handle 1Gbps cumulative.

Similar to how we used to suffer with real-world performance before we could test for buffer bloat.

Now that connections are getting symmetrical more consistently (FTTH residential at 150/150 is fairly common), I feel like someone needs to step up and do the up/down speed tests *at the same time* so that we can really test equipment.

Who's with me!
