'Experience' was perhaps a bad word to use, but certainly no point besides hosting in the higher upstream.

Your point was that no game required a higher upload speed. EVERY game on Xbox Live, and any non server game (many) on the PS3 require it. EVERY game on Xbox Live is peer to peer and therefore hosted by one of the gamers automatically, whomever has the best upload. So their point is entirely valid, one of the benefits, and for me it's a significant one, is that there will be the opportunity to play on Xbox Live with lots more gamers in one room.
You implied that it was only useful for hosts, as if that was a minority thing. And it is if you're a PC gamer. But it's a common thing on Xbox Live. The sooner the UK gets higher upload speeds as a matter of course, for everyone, the sooner we'll be able to enjoy Xbox Live or PSN to the full.
