Yeah, if only there were a technology that offered faster upstream speeds! Gosh, we're just sunk.

Maybe, just maybe, we can just bond 2 lines together.

There's nothing to stop you from ordering 2 lines and doing this yourself today.

Not going to happen since true line bonding requires support at the ISP end as well as the subscriber end.

No ISP support necessary. You just need to have a box somewhere with sufficient bandwidth (ie, a server at a local data center) and establish a multilink PPP session to that.

Screw fiber to the home or DOCSIS 3.0, let's all order 2 DSL lines, co-locate a server in a data center, pay for our bandwidth there, just so we can get 1.8Mbps upstream!

Whooo!

Re: If only user desire trumped engineering obstacles...

No kidding. A much cheaper alternative would be to order two lines and connect them to a dual-WAN router. Although I'm not sure if you can max out both lines with only one connection (say, uploading a large file to a server).

A dual WAN router just doesn't cut it. I'm not sure what algorithms it uses, but I assume most websites are smart enough to not allow loading of password protected resources from 2 different IPs with the exact same cookie, or sign out the 1st IP immediately if a 2nd IP trys to access a resource. Also a dual WAN router, AFAIK, can't cut up an image into a 2 Partial transfers, buffer the image in its RAM, then once the entire image is in RAM, pretend to be an HTTP server (hijacking the existing connection) to the PC and deliver the image under 1 HTTP connection. Just tunnel it to a datacenter and ressemble the tunnels into 1 tunnel.

only a pair is used... there are 2 pair or 4 wire in a phone line.
if you could utilize that yes, you can basically go from 8/1 to 80/10 and that would be practical.

Name a technology that Qwest could deploy at the same or lower costs than their FTTN ADSL2+ offering that would allow those faster upstream speeds.

*sigh* An FTTH deployment would not be the same or lower cost to that of their FTTN deployment.

None. That's why I stick with Cable, because they can.

But the cable companies are getting greedy and really pushing traffic shaping appliances and content sniffers as well as talking about real caps on total data transfer. So far, the DSL telcos have stayed out of that.

I have Comcast now and have already been victimized by port blocking and traffic shaping and it is getting to be a battle that requires work arounds that cost additional dollars. I am getting the QWest 20Mbps soon and will compare them side by side and for a week or two and then stick with one or the other. If I choose Qwest, I WILL miss the 2Mbps upload link that Comcast offers as uploading my pictures for printing [I am an amateur photographer], and doing file transfers to work will take more than twice as long

Yes, Qwest shouldn't have to spend MORE money! God, how dare some suggest that they may be better off with a more expensive choice- haven't those unlucky enough to hold shares in Q suffered enough?

Qwest dug themselves into this pit with all their debt, but now I don't really see how they can do anything else- they simply don't have the capability to make huge expensive deployments like telecom mega-conglomerates VZ and T.

Gosh, if only the whiners would get together and put up $20 billion, they could build the "perfect" network instead of bitching about what everyone else isn't doing for them.

Start making physical plant being owned by non-profits that don't report to Wall Street and therefore don't have $3000 a month T1s (in a Datacenter BTW).
