One of my jobs here at BBR, besides doing Tech support, is to analyze current trends and bring them back to the company. Users have hounded our team relentlessly asking for higher uploads, and we kept reporting that back.
Well, we finally got thru!
I'm not allowed to list specifics yet, but I do promise customers will be pleased!
One of the things people have to keep in mind is that the push from end users for a higher upload is being driven by the file-sharing and gaming communities. Other than VoIP and some higher end Video Telecom apps, nothing else is really being pushed by a loss of bandwidth on the upload side AT THIS PRESENT TIME!
The next couple of years are going to be fun to watch as Content catches up with Technology. Then, we'll really see a push for speeds like some of the other countries are implementing. Can anyone say 100mbps FTTP? 
No i cant, and i dont give a damn what the new few years gonna bring, i want it NOW!! not later.....ive been hereing later for years, i want it F'n NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

| | Well if they are looking for testers, put at the top of the list please.:D
But I wonder how many would be willing to trade off download speed to upload speed.
At my current 3/384, going to 2/1 would be fine by me.
However since I dropped down to the 3/384 from the 6/768, how about a 3/1.5 or maybe even a 3/3.
having the 6 meg D/L was nice, but very rarely was put to full advantage. 3 meg is working out good for D/L. But chopping my u/L in half has been a noticeable impact when uploading web sites and such.

Milpitas, CA | Re: SBC will be having higher uploads soon!!! Isn't the ADSL protocol (G.dmt anyway) limited to 800Kb/s upstream? There is the POTS frequency band at the bottom, then the upstream tones, then the downstream tones (up to 1.1Mhz). There is only room for 800Kb/s capacity for the upstream tones, and that band has fixed top and bottom edges. | |

Chicago, IL | Guess my BritSys/Worldcomm 1.5/768 for 42 bucks a month ain't so bad after all. I was hoping for more down, but for video conferencing etc you need at least 768. | |

If you renewed your contract, you're suppose to be on 1536/256 sync rate.

Setting up VPN's is a (heck) of a lot more fun! Then, there are nutcases like me who insist on running their "own" http, smtp, pop, ftp and dns (mine even reverses).
I could get SBC/ASI (and Sonic and ME) more customers with some reasonably priced tiers such as 1.5m/1.0m, or even take the 6m/6k tier, and cap the downspeed to (methinks) make them a tad more economical for ISP's to handle.
My 5-year-old Alcatel 1000 works *great* at 6M/6K. When will I have to consider ever retiring this longtime friend? | |

Well that maybe where the majority of the request come from but there are those of us who could make use of the higher uploads and don't play games and don't file share. I think you would sell a lot more static/business accounts with higher uploads. As bandwidth increases more people will want to run their own servers locally.
Personally I do a lot of work from home and use our company VPN all the time. I have the need to transfer many files back and forth and we use a source code library that is network intensive (lots of file checks before the transfer or really any operation). Even with 6000/600 it runs a bit slow (yeah it was almost unusable at 128 and I used a dialup version which was awful). I can also generate a 100MB data file pretty quickly and we upload these to test servers all the time, again this can take a fair amount of time and the higher upload would be welcome.
It is not only gamers and torrent users wanting the higher uploads now. | |
