* 2.5GPON isn't symmetric. * DSL and cable can be symmetric. * Business reasons - providers don't want you hosting content at home, they want you hosting content in their data centers so they can charge for that space. So when a provider gets a 100/100 from a telco, it uses 90/10 dl to feed it's tails and 10/90 to push content back to the net of its server array. D On 14/06/2011 4:54 a.m., Seth Mattinen wrote:

My customers already have 10/1 today. Now I need them to have 100/40 so they have a reason to buy other CPE that in turn drives my business.
I have to ask, why not just give them symmetric speeds? I understand there are technical reasons why on DSL and cable you end up with asymmetric, but those don't apply to Ethernet delivery.
