Here is a graph of traffic from approx 200 GPON customers, with a mix of
200/200 and 1000/1000 subscription types:

Something tells me that would also work just fine with wireless operating
at link speed of 1,2 Gbps. You would of course not be able to do 1000 Mbps
upload with a link of 400 up, but you would be able to sell 200/200 no
problem. The limit would be downstream capacity, not upstream.
