Re: Satellite

You may have, but the majority (and don't kid yourself, the majority matters in marketing) didn't even know what upload meant 10 years ago. In fact, I'm willing to lay odds that a majority of people today truly don't have a concept of what upload means. Do not confuse the typical ISP customer (the ones that ISPs want as their customers) for the types that hang out in forums like this.

Upload offerings will be tracked and the only way anyone will pay attention to them, is when enough consumers (not DSLR posters) start asking for increased upload capacity.
START??? We've been asking for more upload for 10+ years, only the providers aren't listening!

Also what hasn't changed is that the tiers are still based on download speeds.

Meaning 768/128 would be considered in the broadband tier.
That's seriously unfortunate. They need to rate upload speeds, as it's the only way to get anyone to pay attention to them.
