Re: Yep, where is the upstream.

There's a cost for everything.

Take your pick. More upstream would equal:
- Tighter caps
- More shaping efforts
- More expensive service
- Lesser service quality

All-in-all, 1.5 Mbps is fairly good IMO for a residential account...especially for that price. Yes, it is out of proportion with the download bandwidth, but I assume the 50 Mbps is there mainly as a marketing tactic. "Hey, look how fast our service is."
