Somewhat similar to what happend shortly after telecoms started offering
ADSL (the A stands for
asymmetric).
To preserve their huge profit margins in ISDN being sold to businesses (often 10 times as much as ADSL), the upstream bandwidth was degraded to not more than 1/4 of the downstream.
Symmetric DSL (SDSL) was priced comparably to ISDN.
