Because of the way DOCSIS works, and also the low capacity of the Telewest network. An upload of 384Kbps will satisfy a 10Mbps download rate, the same as an upload of 768Kbps will satisfy a 20Mbps download rate.

If Telewest don't want to give their customers that little bit extra just for our benefit, that's up to them. It only makes them less popular, and loses customers to services like ADSL2+ where they are available.
