why do people still think that because you can download faster its so much better, for a true multitasking connection it has to have decent upload too the more download speed goes up compared to upload speed is laughable really 756k upload on a 20mb connection is pretty shabby and upload is the main congestion hotpot on cable networks is it not?.

docsis 3 might improve it a bit but untill true fibre to the door old upload will still be kept down a lot on vm network, the upload speed especially on the ex telewest network was poor (NTL had faster upload than Telewest i think) and i think that on the 20mb rollout that is what borked the old telewest customers as there ubr's couldnt handle the extra oomph from 30k to 90k.
