:On with the topic: It's about time symmetrical speeds are provided.. But how long before people abuse it with servers, and torrents maxing their upload all the time? I'm sure the FIOS headend can only support a few people consuming 20megabit.. If they are peering with OC12, it will only take 30 people to consume the entire thing. Even OC48 wont be able to handle such abuse from torrent seeders.
Maybe that's the reason they're not launching the higher tiers in all markets. Maybe it's offered based on the backbone capacity in an area?
