Just tell that to your child that has to submit a assignment before midnight or get zero on 20% of the year's marks. There are plenty of cases where uploads are time critical there are also time where it really doesn't matter.
That's what USB thumb drives and school/library computers are all about: if you don't have the moxie at home, find a better path. Of course, if the kid planned better, s/he wouldn't be in photo-finish hell. (And I speak as someone who regularly crowded deadlines in school.) More compelling is the argument of collaborative creation of PowerPoint slide stacks with lots of graphic elements with a geographically distributed group of people. Particularly if any of the information in the slides is company confidential. Better upstream speeds will speed the collaboration, particularly in the final stages. Text is fast; full-color graphics can be slow.
