| Upload is king!
Back when 3mbps/256kbps was the norm, and 4mbps/384kbps was "speed", I went for "speed" just to get the higher upload.
FFW to today, I still have the highest speed available to me, mainly for the 2mbps upload.
So, when this new upgrade hits, and I can have the same upload speed for $10.00 less per month... well, DUH!
Maybe when D3 gets here *and* I can buy my own modem, I will get the 22/5 service.
Again, just for the upload speed!

| I agree with the poster on this one. We've been getting too little speed in the upload department for way too long now, so if given the choice between 12 or 16mbps downstream, yet both packages offer 2Mbps upload, I'd go with the cheaper package, since I've got enough download, and it's the upload I'm after. when speed increases occur, they should really be in both directions, but that'd make too much sense. 16/2 should be at least 16/3. And why is Comcast requiring a Docsis 3 modem for their 22/5 service? Cablevision offers 30/5 on Docsis 2.0. I'd love to see other cable providers offer something higher than 2Mbps upstream on Docsis 1.1/2.0 equipment currently deployed, yet noone's yet done it. Strange, since I'm pretty sure currently deployed Docsis equipment can do at least 4Mbps upload. |

I'd spring in another 10 bucks personally for 22/5 if I had 16/2. $10 less for 4Mbps less probably is a good move for some 16/2 users. $10 more for 6 mbps more down and 3 mbps more up IS worth it for a lot of people IMO. |
