:Well, bumping upload speeds would require them to upgrade their backhaul infrastructure which would mean investment in that infrastructure.
Technically speaking, bumping upload speeds would require upgrades in the plant itself by either doing node splits or frequency adds. The backhaul is symmetrical and would have more than enough capacity already.
Yep, I know their backhaul out of the Triad is a SONET OC-48 RING (2 x 2.4Gbps) which connects to Raleigh and Charlotte. They were testing a DWDM 10x10Gig link to Charlotte the last time I toured their RDC.
