DOCSIS3 cable is capable of up to 107MBps up. ADSL2 can only offer 896kb up.

In the future DOCSIS can be expanded for gigabit speeds as well.
I have "last mile" fiber-to-the-premises. My modem, wait, I don't have a modem. Should I use my GPON ONT and router to call out my upload capabilities? I'm already at the gigabit speeds with the current technology and work towards next generation and hybrid PON's capable of reaching 10 gigabit speeds are already being tested.

If it's anything you won't see anytime soon is gigabit to the home in the US.

You see it in Europe and Asia but as we know we are pretty much way behind them in broadband.

FiOS is only in a "one upmanship" game with Cable. They're not going to go gigabit unless the cablecos get near that, and they won't.

Besides, I have a few hundred servers that I manage and the total bandwidth they use (upload) barely crosses 250MBps. Most times the firewall is loafing around 130MBps. We do have 2GBps connectivity.

So it is quite unlikely that there's even a real need for gigabit connectivity to the home right now.
