| Upload speeds can be better, so why aren't they! I've been wondering for years why we're not improving upstream speeds across the board here in the U.S. DSL for example if you live close enough is capable of I think 1.1Mbps upstream, so why is it that AT&T offers a max tier of just 768kbps? Even Verizon offers 864kbps sync rate while Qwest is doing 896Kbps. True at the moment not everyone will use it, but at least having it as an option at a decent price wouldn't be such a bad thing now would it?
and why is it that only one cable provider in the entire country is offering upload speeds greater than 2Mbps? And in many cases, like mine, in order to get 2Mbps upstream, you need a business class connection that costs $119 a month, while other users can have 2Mbps residential service for $65 or whatever the price is.
I've got a friend who has RoadRunner lite which in my area is 1.5Mbps/384Kbps. Why not offer for the same price that same 1.5Mbps downstream, with say 768Kbps or even 1.5Mbps upload, for those few times when they may wish to make use of it? In most if not all cable serviced areas, you can now get a top residential tier of at least 10/1, but how long before others began offering those speed options was Optimum online offering 10/1 to it's customers, while we sat at 3/256 speeds? Now they're offering 30/5, while we if we're lucky get 15/2 max? It's the same cable technology, so what's the hold up here! Just my rant on it all. |
