My guess is those who will be paying a high premium for a fast service are somewhat knowledgable about what they can do with that kind of speed. The average consumer doesn't and will not need 20 mbps anytime soon. Assuming this high tier will attract the tech savvy crowd and businesses, they will sure appreciate want higher upload speeds. A paltry 1 meg upload is shambolic considering the capacity of VDSL/VDSL2(+).

Now if they would make it 20/4-5ish or 12/3-4ish that would be a much better deal. The 1MBps upload is bad as Comcast's 384k upload. Takes forever to send an e-mail with any sort of attachment. People do send stuff as well as downloading. |

Re: What...the...hell?
i give a crap about upload speeds. for those that qualify for their 7m / 934k, just order two, its almost the same price. i would never pay more to get a slower upload. more and more people need faster uploads thanks to cheap web hosting, digital cameras, slingbox, etc. |

Re: Raise the upload speed Qwest
Qwest is claiming that it is a limitation of the lame ADSL2+ hardware they are putting in. It's not VDSL. It is FTTN then ADSL2+ to the house. |

Really 5M up should be the new norm. If you have 2-3 pcs,and 2 voip line it gets used fast. What i dont understand there are alot of people who would prefer higher upload speeds, yet there arent any offers. 10/5 would suit alot of people well. |

All you'll be doing is getting 2 934k uploads and 2 7m downloads.. Its not like it can be combined bandwidth for one download/upload.

Well I don't know about VDSL2, but I do know that DOCSIS can support a lot more bandwidth than traditional DSL..

What I want is 1000 Mbps fixed, both directions, for $99 per month. And throw in mobile at 600 Mbps for $30 more.

Considering that Japanese get 2mb up 50M down at $25, HELL NO!
Spread the word and maybe these phone companies will see just how overpriced they really are.
