Re: What's so strange about top-heavy tiers like 100Mbps/2Mbps?

What can a residential customer do, within their ISP's AUP, to warrant more upstream? Outside of hosting game servers, which might not be permitted in all ISP AUPs, upstream is for sending DNS requests, HTTP GETs and SMTP; nothing terribly bandwidth intensive, even for the most robust www sites.
Online backups is one thing but what I really want fast upstream for is when I VPN in to my local network and try to control my home computer with VNC. It is brutally slow. I need more upstream!!

A 1mb connection for VNC is plenty.
