@Shubham Video Calling.
If three people are using Jio Fiber's 100 Mbps plan and try HD Video calling, it wouldn't be smooth with their 10 Mbps upload speeds.
If you monitor the traffic, you'd be surprised at how much data is uploaded. The simplest use case of upload bandwidth would be video calling, gaming, VoIP.
Also, Jio Fiber has issues: Source

Most people use shitty apps like Zoom, or Whatsapp for video calling which will work even at 128 kbps.
I think I didn't convey my point clearly. I never said upload speeds do not have any tangible use.
My point was most users (the general population) will never even realise the need of symmeteric upload speed.
You can conduct a poll in this forum itself about Jio's upload speed and if it hinders their real life usage or not.
Again, I repeat Jio should give symmeteric speeds. I have written emails to their customer care asking for it. I am not defending Jio just highlighting a real world scenario.

@Shubham I understand your point.
But you are underestimating the general Indian population. They simply do not know low upload bandwidth is the cause for their shitty video calling/VoIP experience. But they do know their video/VoIP experience is crap.
Even babus and uncles would prefer HD video/audio calling.
Think about it, how many people live inside a single Indian household on average?
Now, most Jio Fiber users are not tech-savvy, their demographics are for the simple plug and use type families.
So, most of these families are going to opt for 100 Mbps plans, agree? So, that's 10 Mbps upload speed. 4 in a family sharing 10 Mbps upload speed.
Does that make any sense to you?

@Shubham People are not aware of their own requirements or terminologies. They simply wouldn't know.
Many complain about "slow speeds" but never even ran a speed test in their lives.
Basic Computer Science foundation is not India's strongpoint really. We can all agree, how back in school, the student knows better than the teacher. And most people, do not opt for Computer Science after class 8. If it's selective in 9th and 10th onwards.
I have dealt with many people who ask for my help in real life. They do require decent (not 100 Mbps) speeds, but they simply don't understand the terms or numbers. From my experience with "normal" people, 50 Mbps symmetrical bandwidth is sufficient for a household of about 4.

10 Mbps upload bandwidth is too low in this cloud and video call/conference era.
Atleast they should give 1/3rd of the download speed like thier own company Hathway does.
My office mate who has a jio fiber connection is struggling during meetings as he is not getting even his promised 10mbps upload speed.

@vignesh_venkatesan same with me.
There is also another point why a massive company like Jio with their state of art of infrastructure and international gateways and all is trying to cap upload bandwidth. Is it just because they want to cut cost on uplink bandwidth or any other specific reasons as no isp in India is capping upload speeds more specifically like 10 % ..
No doubt higher upload speed is better and I have raised this issue with CC and via email as well.
However, 10Mbps is not too bad. Some things you mentioned like Google contacts, diagnostics and telemetry don’t consume much data at all.
Google Photos updates only a few new photos taken recently and it happens in the background. We are talking about 20Mb to 100Mb upload for say the new 10 to 30 pictures taken each day. This only takes a couple of minutes and there won’t be any major benefit if it took 90 seconds or 30. Most of the time Google is slow on this anyway. Same applies for cloud backup. There are only a few users, perhaps 2% if even that who would be buying extra storage from Google or Apple and then using it to store large files regularly. Total landline broadband penetration in India is not even 3% of the households. This limiting of upload is necessary due to GPON limitations and is quite common even in the US. Take a look at any US provider except Google and you will see much less upload speed provided except in the highest tier plans which are sometimes symmetrical.Jio could do this too and provide symmetrical speeds from diamond plan onwards.
