There's no need for more than 384 unless you are running a server, which is prohibited.

Not so. as games get more and more sophisticated the data required also increases therefore for more enjoyable gameplay more upload bandwidth is required.

There is also no need for 384k download then by your reasoning. So you are saying there's no reason for me to be uploading faster to an FTP site? People who upload decent sized files often to an http or ftp server could always use more upload speed. Same with P2P, and it doesn't even have to be illegal files. Look at bit torrent. I've downloaded quite a few legal files from it, but it everyone's upload speed was as good as their download speed it would go extremely fast. Slow upload speeds are limiting technology. |

It's narrowminded opinions like this that is stagnating broadband.
A computer is a communication device and to communicate you must have two things. Send and recieve. Using your opinion is like saying that moving all phones to one way use is a good thing. You can call someone, say all you want, but they can't answer, acknowledge, or reiterate anything back to you. That's pointless.
People have many uses for better upload speeds. Gaming being a big concern. Or what about me...I take care of several websites, I'd like some extra upload to make that less of a pain. I send big graphic files to printers, that would be nice to send those a lot faster. None of those are servers. All of them are allowed under even the worst TOS's. Why should I not be able to do that faster?
Your sig says you weren't born with enough middle fingers...you're going to get a lot more from people here with a narrow outlook like that.

| I think wills has a valid point here. He doesn't NEED it. Heck, nobody even NEEDS a broadband connection. We could all use the arguement that if you NEEDED it that you could just go with a biz connection.
But it doesn't mean people don't have valid uses for a better upload. I'd like it just so that when I do my occasional uploading that it gets done 3-4 times faster. Isn't that why we got broadband? For the speed.

Still using it for business purposes whether you get paid or not. As for the personal attacks, try to keep them to a minimum. It detracts from the points you make. We can agree to disagree.

There is no need for anyone's car to go faster than 25 mph
There is no need for people to have anymore that 3 tv channels
I could keep going but it would get tedious. I think I made my point.
Who CARE'S if it's needed or not? What if someone really DOESN'T NEEEEEEED it but just WANTS it?
My god we're not talking about oxygen here.
In fact, if you take that's guys point even further, who really NEEEEEEEDS cable at all? We should have just all stayed at 56k then? |

I don't think your comment here is exactly valid. How does Wills taking care of multiple sites automagically constitute business purposes? It simply could be one person with multiple personal sites.

YOU SAID:

I SAY:
That is NOT TRUE - Here are things im constantly doing and im not running any servers or business :
1) sending file attachments
2) audio/video conferencing
3) file sharing programs - legitimate file sharing
4) multitasking
The internet has gone very multimedia, and 384 just doesnt cut it... And when your multitasking ie doing multiple
events at the same time, it is EASY to eat up all your upload speed, which then degrades your download speed as well even though you have plenty left.
People should complain more to the company. It is Bogus that people dont need upload speed.. Why is it fair that i can download my email quick as split, but to send a file attachment to a friend I have to sit there and wait for 10 minutes and that's supposed to be okay.
Now im not saying it has to be a 3500kbps up and down, but 384 is TOO SLOW for todays everyday non commerical non server applications. |
