| Upload is the only card ISP's have left to play... In the early years of Cable modems (late 90's), Time Warner and Cox both would site line saturation as a reason why uploads were capped.
I'm not sure what happened (Docsis standards?) but OOL is offering a 20/2 tier - along with their existing high bandwidth offerings.
I once had a SDSL 1.5/1.5 line at home until Northpoint went belly up. I loved being able to host files for family members. Those days are long gone. I think newer ADSL standards allow for higher uploads - hopefully that time is sooner as there is no reason for them not to increase upload speeds (except to control pricing levels). |
