+1 Jay. Just because you can't possibly imagine what you can do now with a 50 meg Upload doesn't mean it won't be required or well received 10 years from now. Who would have thought 10 years ago a 25 Mbps pipe or Fiber to the curb would be even necessary or available, and for some it probably is overkill....not for me. A shared 10 meg pipe from Time warner is so much worse than any other carrier's 25 meg and the upload being 512K should really be illegal for a big telco such as they are and for what's commensurately available across the nation.
