How much of that is a result of the existing infrastructure? My available upload bandwidth is just 10% of my download bandwidth, which makes it pretty much useless for all but tiny amounts of data. There are many things I would love to upload, but it is just not feasible, so you learn to deal with it.
- barrkel 12y ago10% of my upload bandwidth is a megabyte a second. That's enough for most of my upload usage - backup primarily, and the occasional youtube video. Your perspective on upload vs download may change a bit when your connection gets better. I think a 9:1 ratio of download to upload is the right thing for most consumers. Ideally, the connection would rebalance based on demand, but I don't know enough about xDSL technology to know why that isn't possible.
