They may be bandwidth symmetric, but they are not power symmetric.  The 
base station (towers) can output "the right" amount of power to each 
receiver (phones) at full bandwidth, but the phones cannot output 
adequate power all of the time given their transmitter, antenna and non 
ideal location when transmitting.  Thus, with reduced power, the actual 
bandwidth is reduced.
