When I first got broadband four years ago I had 1500/384kbps DSL. Two years later that seemed slow. After having COMCAST Pro speeds for a year I have gotten used to it and it doesn't seem as fast as it did when I first got it. I currently pay US$95 for COMCAST Pro at 3500/384kbps and I am still looking for something faster. I would gladly pay up to US$150 for 10/1.5Mbps (up/down) and I would pay more for faster speeds. While the upload speed isn't all that important to me I would really like to have as much download bandwidth as possible. As the saying goes "...[one] can never be too rich...and [one] can never have too much bandwidth."

Forget EVER getting 1500kbps upload. the current system cable uses only has 4.6mbps(after overhead) on each node. that would mean three users uploading would saturate the upload channel and others download rates would fall and latency would increase. DOCSIS 2.0 alleviates this somewhat but only adds 10mbps to the upload channel. want 1.5mbps up either get a T1 or if u can get it i believe Speakeasy offers up to 1.5mbps upload (sysadmin/god packages) of course if you cant get DSL that point is moot. -- You can never be too rich, too thin or have too much Bandwidth
Well like I said I'd really like to have the download speed. I don't run servers and pretty much just download large files form work and surf the internet and check e-mail. If it weren't for having to download large files from work I could probably get by with "dial-up". NOT!!.
