[Discuss] now available for Verizon FIOS: uploading...

[Tom Metro]

OK, so the headline is a joke, but it's the impression you get from the
mail advertisement I received from them this week:

  INTRODUCING SPEEDMATCH. NOW GET
  MATCHING UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD SPEEDS
  ...
  Why uploads matter: Did you know that whenever you send an email
  attachment, back up files to the cloud or share a large file or video,
  you're uploading? Fact is, we're uploading more than ever.


Ha! So that's uploading you say?

They go on to show a speed comparison chart between this new service and
cable Internet that shows how much time it would take to upload for each
of several suggested applications: posting 10 photos to a web site,
email complex medical images, share 20-minute training video, or backup
company files to the cloud.

Of course they don't list running your own server, as they still want to
discourage you from doing that, but having a consumer-oriented ISP
acknowledge that there are useful things you can do with upstream
bandwidth is ground breaking.


  Time is money. And upload speeds that match your download speed can
  save your business precious minutes every day.
  ...
  YOU BUSINESS DOESN'T HAVE TO SETTLE FOR LESS THAN 100% OF THE
  INTERNET.

Thank you Verizon. (This is why you are vigorously in favor of net
neutrality, right Verizon?)

 -Tom

I thought I read something a while back about Verizon no longer expanding
FiOS so they could focus on the more lucrative smartphone market.
