Well the thing with upload speeds is most of the population even know about them, then of the ones who do lots dont care/understand what it is. This could ofcourse change with marketing and one thing which surprises me is that the bt and other isp's using fttc havent really made a push to highlight their superior upload speeds.
So in the mean time virgin would rather throw money at download speeds which grabs headlines and is easier to market. For example look at the marketing/press coverage of the double speed upgrade and that of the upload upgrade.
