said by jmck:there's no subsidization going on with uploads, it really comes at no cost to TSI because of how the billing from it's providers works out.
I used the terms "free" and "subsidizing" in quotes for a reason.
nobody ends up paying for a customer that ends up using their upload 24/7 at max speed.
Only because of the asymmetric imbalance between media streaming and other high volume download usage vs. file sharers, cloud sharers and other uploaders. The former create the situation and pay for the extra costs of provisioning it that allows the latter to do their "free" uploads. In that sense they subsidize them.
