What is that statement based on?  I have not seen any outcry for more symmetric speeds.  Asymmetry in our networks 
causes a lot of engineering issues and if it were up to the carriers, we would much rather have more symmetric traffic 
patterns because it would make life easier for us.  Remember that most carrier backbones are built of symmetric 
circuits.  It would be nice but the users generally download more than they upload.  That is the fact.


Average != Peak.

Why is this so hard to understand?
