Accepted. Perhaps they could consider charging a premium?

Virgin have just spend over a year getting the network to a point where it can support 10:1. I would expect making the whole network support a higher upload to download ratio is another big bit of work
I'd have hoped that they spent enough to allow it to go well beyond 10:1 rather than just up to 10:1. We know VM are going to have to do some work before they can offer 120Mbit download in the summer, otherwise they'd probably start offering it quicker. All I am saying is they might like to think about improving upload speeds more than they have because they're likely to be overtaken within the next few months by a substantial number of ISPs offering FTTC. I have a feeling that upload speeds are going to start mattering a lot more in the future.
