I will admit to zero WISP experience but wifi is symmetrical speed up/down
so why wouldn't a WISP not also be?

Wifi 6E higher speed and base control of clients, subchannels,
simultaneously transmission from multiple clients etc. All good stuff that
should allow a WISP to deliver much higher upload.

As soon a certain threshold is reached, higher speed will not cause more
utilisation of the airwaves.

The WISP will need to invest in wifi 6E gear, which I suspect is the real
problem.
