Steve, My point is that for lots and lots of people their uplink is not "so low". Even when I look at users with 25/25 and 50/50, many of the have been at those rates for >3 years we don't see changes in traffic patterns nor satisfaction as compared to users at similar download rates but lower uplink rates as long as we don't go below ~5 mbps on the uplink.

Daniel,
"50MB/s might be tough to fill, but even at home I can get good use out of the odd 25MB/s upstream burst for a few minutes."
Which would you choose, 50/50 or 75/25? My point is not that upstream speed isn't valuable, but merely that demand for it isn't symmetrical and unless the market changes won't be in the near term. Downstream demand is growing, in most markets I can see, much faster than upstream demand.
Scott,
Who can foresee what APPs might come about if uplinks speeds weren't so low. I liken it to whoever said no one will ever need more than 640KB of memory.
