All of the tiers need it, not just 20Mbps and 50Mbps.

The tier speeds should be (In Kbps):

2000/512
10000/2000
20000/4000
50000/6000

Bare minimum...

More and more people are uploading things nowadays, not just downloading.

- Pictures are larger because of increasing mega-pixel capacity on cameras.
- Games are larger because of better physics engines and game data so multi-player game data becomes larger too.
- Videos in HD from high mega-pixel camcorders uploading to youtube.
- High quality graphics uploaded to your own websites.
- Sharing via p2p (legal of course) rather than using pre-defined servers which may have lack of bandwidth.

Without the larger upload capacity, the future of what the internet is becoming (highly interactive and media driven) will eventually come to an almost dead stop when people are finding it takes to long to realistically perform any task on the web, besides browsing ebay and checking their e-mail...
