We don't advertise speeds at all. We just say that you won't be able to
tell a difference between our system and Comcast/Centurylink. We will also
guarantee that your video will not buffer. 50% growth last year and we
expect at least that this year.

Good point about business and upload speed.
Even businesses with people working from home via VPN and video Skype. I
have a guy uploading documents to his server at a datacenter, he is crying
that I'm only giving him 15M upload, he wants 25M. I have a professional
photographer who stores his photos in RAW format and uses cloud backup. 4M
upload is probably adequate for most people, but let's face it, how many
people really need 60M download? If it's all about the numbers, why ignore
upload.
Probably something we should stress more in advertising.

Yeah I pay $29 for 60 meg and actually get it (typically 66). No bundle
required. I can't serve myself for free but for 30 bucks I'm not too
heartbroken. The upload still blows at 4 meg though.
I don't even bother with residential, honestly. Businesses are easier to
deal with, especially the ones doing cloud stuff and suffering with the
4 meg upload.
