Also in my experience ISP's to this day favour downloads over uploads by at least a 20:1 margin. Not to mention their restrictions on open ports and running internet-facing servers. Though I'm not sure if this was just a market response to customer preferences or if it was a contributing factor to digital consumerism.

[...] Though I'm not sure if this was just a market response to customer preferences or if it was a contributing factor to digital consumerism. Verizon ran a campaign recently where they made their FiOS service 1:1 claiming that it was due to customer demand. But it happened right around when the FCC was debating net neutrality, so I always assumed that Verizon hoped they could fool a few people into thinking that it was what net neutrality was all about.
