I mean on a 20mb package you get what, 750kbps, I would have thought something like 1.5mb would be fairer.
Cable networks were original designed for cable TV. For a cable TV distribution system, you don't need a lot of bandwidth on the upload, so the design of the hardware for such a system placed a heavy emphasis on the download.
