Personally i would love 1mbit up speeds, and i do get annoyed tranferring 100mb+ files to friends, but realistically it's very rare i need to send these types of files. Usually it's the odd game patch that has crap servers hosting it. (which used to happen alot a while ago, seems to have been cured now)

Mind you saying that, hosting game servers is something i do quite often, and often enough people get annoyed because the up speed of the host (me) isn't good enough to support more than 16 people at once... (Makes CS:S a bit boring at times!) I'd love to be able to host a web server as well. But hey, we pay for huge down speeds, and don't really utilise much upstream.
