> 3m/256k goes to 4m/384k
> 4m/256k goes to 5m/512k

  1. Really not too pushed about the 3 Mbit/s downstream I’ll get but the increase to 384 kbits/s now that’s what I’m talking about!

    Of course even better would be 2 Mbit/s down and 1 Mbit/s up but a tripling of the upstream bandwidth is a start!

  2. Indeed. Is there some technical reason why they are limiting upload so much? Or is it purely to keep us all in the consumers rather than producers mentality?
