Honestly who needs MASSES of upload?
a) torrenters
b) web developers
c) those uploading movies / images
Lets see, VM are moving towards online p2p video streaming, that requires a far higher upload than 1.5mbit.

Put it this way, if you decide to download something maxing your speed out, you will require 1.2mbit of upload, that leaves you with 200kbit to browse, upload etc, its an unfair ratio, and would officially be the worst in the UK.

People need to stop living in the past, demos weigh in at 3gb these days, HD can weigh in at 30gig, this is the digital future.
