I'm not saying its good by any stretch, but if i had a choice of slow upload / good down or 'ok down, good up' i know what i'd rather
They are moving to IPTV (which will again, require faster upload than 1.5mbit)

Amongst many other online streaming, along with HD streams.

Alright saying 1.5mbit is enough, it was enough 5 years ago as well.

But times have moved on since then, files are alot bigger, and being able to download a 4gig file in say 10 minutes, but taking 12 hours to upload a 4gb file is not fun, and when they do p2p streaming, people wont stop on to seed such a thing.

P.S You'd be suprised how many people are willing to sacrafice download speed for higher upload, loads of people have on Be and Be are serious competition for VM.
