I guess I don't have broadband then

PTD.net in partnership with Service Electric Cablevision only provides me with 1mbps upstream in my 12/1 double play (phone & Internet). 1 Mbps is 500k short of the proposed new broadband served definition.

Thing is that they are more than able to provide more upstream. I have 3 bonded upstream channels, but they artificially rate limit the upload to 1mbps! Why limit it so much when the technology is not limiting it?

Being that it cost them virtually no more to give you line speed both ways (lets so 25/25mb) compared to limiting you to 12/1 none of it makes any sense. They simply create the marketing illusion that faster is worth more, thus they charge you more as you perceive it to be "worth" the cost.
