Does any company actually have upstream bonding capable modems yet? The ones motorola released only are downstream bonding capable. |

What's the point of having 50/50Mbps when you're throttled/capped ?

but they severely limit how you can use that upstream bandwidth. no bit torrent seeding. Monthly consumption caps. I'll pass.

1 edit | Drool......
I just got 20/2 last week with my provider (rcn) and totally love it. 50/50 would just be sweet! I can only wonder what they will charge for that speed! But, what good is 50 on the upload if you can't use it with bittorrent? (that whole sandvine/comcast issue) I don't think my webhosting provider would even let me upload files at that speed! Other than sending files to other comcast 50/50 users, what server has the capability of accepting 50 meg uploads?
But, i could be waay off here and most could. I don't know.
Either way, it would be a nice package.

| oh..
Comcast can barely provision the speeds they are offering now, using strong-arm and illegal means to limit current BW use..
what makes them think that they can offer 50/50 on their current, very overloaded, backbone / peering agreement network?
50/50 @ 20GB a month is useless. |
