Steve,

My point is that for lots and lots of people their uplink is not "so low".
Even when I look at users with 25/25 and 50/50, many of the have been at
those rates for >3 years we don't see changes in traffic patterns nor
satisfaction as compared to users at similar download rates but lower
uplink rates as long as we don't go below ~5 mbps on the uplink.

Which would you choose, 50/50 or 75/25?  My point is not that upstream
speed isn't valuable, but merely that demand for it isn't symmetrical and
unless the market changes won't be in the near term.  Downstream demand is
growing, in most markets I can see, much faster than upstream demand.

 Scott,

Who can foresee what APPs might come about if uplinks speeds weren't so
low. I liken it to
whoever said no one will ever need more than 640KB of memory.

Regards,
Steve
