Exactly, now you see the dilemma. What is reasonable/comparable? Is it re=
asonable to assume that users upload as much as they download when every tr=
affic study I have ever done or seen tells me that is not the case? Is it =
reasonable for me to allocate my customers to 5M down/5M up when they reall=
y mostly use 8.5 down/1.5 up? I know it would make you happy to build my =
network so that you can twiddle the upload/download dials but is it reasona=
ble to make all of my customers pay for that infrastructure rather than ask=
you to buy a more premium business class service if you want that?
