Here is a related question:
We just upgraded to a DSL service giving us a measured 10 Meg down and 700k up, as fast as we can get on a "normal" line. We do very little uploading, almost all downloading. The service rep wanted us to buy a symmetrical 4 line service that was 1 down and 1 up guaranteed, and kept trying to tell us it would be a much faster service in the end. It was about $300/month. Now, I have an insatiable greed for speed, but even a degraded 10 Meg service ought to beat a dedicated 1 meg service for downloads in my thinking, and it is a whole lot cheaper, but the rep was really insistent. What do you gurus know about this?
