Here's the quote that shows you how totally out of touch the executives are..

"Although Xtreme's monthly rates of up to $200 likely put the service out of most consumers' price range, Henry said people with home offices, executives looking to connect to their corporate networks and die-hard online gamers will be interested."

1) A home office needs to be able to run services (mail or web or etc). All those are blocked in the home networks.

2) Executives looking to connect their corporate network require synchronous speeds. 30mb/.76mb is pointless for a home office worker. (and it violates their terms of service)

3) Die Hard Gamers care about ping times. 30mb is pointless, they just need pings.

Just for fun, "Right now most consumers are satisfied with regular broadband," Atlanta-based telecom analyst Jeff Kagan said. "That's fine for what they use the Internet for. But it's not going to be that way forever. At some point, consumers will be doing things like downloading whole movies." Well, DUH, we already DO download movies, music, tvshows, etc, pretty much everything digital.

Sure the internet has lots of porn and piracy, but I'm sure there's a downside to it.

That is a JOKE! I was about to post a sourcastic remark that it would be 10/384, but its for real?!? You got to bit kidding me? This is why I left RR for Cyberonic about 18 months ago. I can get 6/768 dry line with Cyberonic. My god, you must get 30 meg down service for $200 to get 768 up?!? WTF

That's worse than Mediacom's 20:1 ratio
5000/256

Youn might be able to get a UDP stream going at 30mb, but the ACKs for TCP will completely saturate the upload.

This is a part of the point of the original corporate planned roll-out for residential 'internet'. It was to be as a means for offering products and services via a high speed network. It wasn't intended as a means for the end user to UPLOAD HUGE AMOUNTS OF DATA.

Your role is to use your remote control and order whatever is being sold through the TV. It doesn't take much bandwidth to send a product order request. The bandwidth would be reserved for the movie coming down the pipe.

So basically, they will provide a system that is adequate for receiving entertainment. Not any bandwidth intensive applications originating from the home.

You obviously don't know much about TWC then because TWC isn't that harsh on people running servers or FTP or mail. They are probably the most loose when it comes to this. They do not block all those ports. In fact, they DO monitor the network and when servers are found, at most usually, they call up and ask what they are using the servers for. If the useage isn't tearing up the node, they move along.

And additionally, a home office does not always need to be able to run mail or web services on their connection. TWC offers that service on their hosted networks if needed.
