I would gladly pay more, and indeed did with Be, over 20% more along with giving up some downstream speed in order to get the better upstream.

I would happily give VM a 25 - 50% increment on my 20Mbit costs for a 5+Mbit upstream. I seriously doubt I'm alone, and it would certainly add to those very few who have taken the 50Mbit product.

VM could easily and correctly say that the only people who might want much higher upstream are geeks who are not the average user, then again these are the only people who will want to pay extra for 50Mbit. The 1.5Mbit upstream will turn them off, and is indeed turning them off.
