You could put this multicast receiver into the last hop before the customer
and then send unicast to the customer.

I may have worded up-speed potentially ambiguously, I mean over-speed,
meaning access needs higher than stream bitrate to receive stream of
specific bitrate. In practical world, of course already very
problematic scenario for most NFLX consumers.
