| upload speeds are a joke ISP's wide
Seriously, outside of Fios, why can't these isps dole out the upload speeds to at least t1 speeds. Yeah, they can give huge download, but then you get hamstrung by upload speeds. I do a lot of work from home and I am constantly uploading large files back to my office. It's so agonizingly slow. |

| Cable DOCSIS and Telco DSL were designed based on a passive consumption model. There were engineering and business reasons for the trade-off.
As Internet matures part of its promise is a more egalitarian communication model where there are many, rather then a privileged few, content providers. That is why I prefer term First-Mile rather then Last-Mile to describe customer access network. That change is putting severe strain on broadband business model used by most ISPs.
FTTP, like Verizon's FIOS, is the only real long term solution to deliver massive bandwidth to support both video libraries and large scale content creation and telecommuting.

Edmonton, AB | Sooner or later ISPs and technology is going to have to get with the times.
One thing is for sure: uploading 1GB of photos at 640kbps to have them printed = not fun. |
