4.1.5: When an ISP provides services to a single user or an organization, it typically provides WAN connectivity. These connections to the ISP’s network over a large geographic area can be symmetric or asymmetric.

Symmetric connections provide the same upload and download speed; these connections are most often used by organizations or users who host servers and provide services to others.
