|  I will stick with 10mbit for awhile unless of course I win..
The lottery... Remember that money determine speed not technology...
I can get 50mbps but I cannot shell out 191.99 a month
53.99 a month is all I can spare for now
So sorry about those speed craving maniac on DSLR 
When it comes to brags rights I believe I have not that rights yet unless I can get the best speed now and have no problems paying 191.99 a month...
I consume quite a bit of bandwidth
at 3 or 6mbps on DSL I assure you that 500-750gb a month is the norm for me LOL
The reason why its harder to consume more bandwidth on DSL and Cable is because the upload are only a fraction of what your download are... say 6mbit/1mbit, 5mbit,384k, 3mbit,512k
This mean that if you upload a long time at 384k, 512k,1mbit,2mbit you would not consume any more then symmetrical connection say 384k/384k, 512k/512k, 1mbit,1mbit
Since most activity on internet is peer to peer a symmetrical connection is best used...
asymmetrical are not better or practical in a sense it is infact a gimmick
false advertisement of speed such as 6mbit/1mbit is not 6mbps! its bogus... and misleading for the average user
10mbit/1mbit or 10mbit/10mbit
definitely the latter because you can do more with symmetrical then asymetrical because if you do a lot of uploading then the 10mbit/1mbit isn't any better then 1mbit/1mbit. It is sad but true. facts proven that asymmetrical are lousy for most application and for those who just don't upload much or at all 
6.0/1.0 or 6.0/6.0
I know that some folks will say that even 10/1 is better then 6/6 but let's compare similar speed rather then different one causing confusion
60/1 or 60/60 we all know that symmetrical blows asymmetrical out of the water everytime if compared statistically
25/1 or 25/25
conclusion: asymmetrical = obsolete, next to useless for peer to peer activity such as file sharing and other intensive apps
If you're one of those user called a kid you wouldn't notice anything different because all you do is watch youtube all day and nothing else. a sad sad truth but but I am just giving you the facts
