I was thinking the fact that the limitation is shared across all 7 remote users
(I was local on the same lan as the Galene server) 
may have confused the situation - along with the fact that it is a massively asymmetric link.

VP9 and no TURN - I’m old/lucky enough to have a /24 routed to my house :-)

I think I was using chrome, but it may have been safari on Mac - at least 2 of the others were safari on iPad.
I’d guess the rest were chrome on windows.
