Re: North Carolina
Try uploading HD videos and you'll see what I mean. I record a lot of my game videos in pure HD and I literally can wait sometimes hours for them to upload at full speed, especially since 10 minutes of a video file consists of 400+MB worth of data. I have DSL here, but the slowest package of 128kbps (I really get 139kbps) on the upstream from Verizon. That's 60MB AN HOUR!!! So yeah, upstream is just important as the downstream now a days, as even people like grandmas are getting things like Digital cameras and sending their relatives 2MB pictures per file. At slow upload speeds, it can take a long time for even one picture. Roadrunner has only 2Mbps of upload in my area, while FiOS has 15Mbps. I have plans to get FiOS when they roll it in very soon.
Heck, on a T3 it's still going to take a few minutes to upload my videos. |
