its only fact for P2P freeloaders who don't want/not allowed to pay for a decent newsgroup service and need a high upstream to get a decent downstream, if you go on a newsgroup which on 3meg only uses 11-14kb/sec upstream, so for 10meg (if you can ever get a full 10meg downstream would still be way,way under and not so important.

Cap the upstream i say - disgruntle the P2P users downloading their mp3's,games and the likes, this would make the network so much better for all of us.
