| why won't they offer more upload
I know for a fact that cable upload speeds can achieve on docsis 1.1 anyway at least 2mbps, perhaps more, yet RR wants to have a top upload speed of 1mbps, which one can get either with 15 or 20mbps downstream tiers? OK 15/1 I can accept, but why does the 20mbit tier also have to only have 1mbps up? If you increase speeds, shouldn't it be in both directions? Why on Earth are ISP's so afraid to provide faster upstream connections! |

now way TW is going to give more than a megabit on DOCSIS 1.1

Because letting people upload more would totally wreck their waaaay oversubscribed shitty networks. |
