So the reason upload speeds are so slow is basically to save money? I have always wondered this. It sounds hard to believe it’s cheaper to offer 50mbit down then 20mbit with say 5-10mbit upload.

I’ve had NTL/Virgin since 2001 and the download speed has gone from 512kbps to 20mbps yet the upload speed has only gone from 128kbps to 768kbps.
