as far as I know, the Set Top Box users only ever got a 'special' download speed increase/allowance because of interactive services - but they still had the crappy 64k upload speed if they're on the bottom tier.

perhaps a question for BBKING - perhaps the bottom tier on STB does get a bigger upload allowance.
