Tbh- I think they'd have to if they want people downloading at 10mb, concidering I use a good 15k/sec upload just when i'm downloading at 250k/sec. Not sure why but thats how it works here

Correct me if im wrong, but *sniff* .. dont be too harsh
I believe you are correct - 10M download will require a higher upload speed than 3M - what the equation is, I cannot say (but I am sure someone here will know it).

A certain amount of upload is due to "ACK" packets , basically saying, yes I have received that data - that will need to be higher, as more data is being received.

As I said, believe this to be the case, but I'm sure someone with a more in-depth knowledge of the subject will be along shortly
