Re: [General] BTES - Fiber Internet.... 256k upload on all tiers

Easy answer: competition is lousy in the area.

More involved answer: maybe they're getting a highly asymmetric link on the backbone side of things (for whatever reason) or want to discourage P2P, or are getting a sweet deal on inbound bandwidth by partnering with some datacenter or other.

Though I agree, 256k upload is pathetic. I'd rather have 3/512 for $60 than 12/256...

While that is true, both Charter and Embarq offer substantially higher upload speeds than 256k
