I have an awesome internet connection compared to some people (or so I thought): I sometimes hit over 32Mbps in download tests. Downloading ISOs from Technet? Pfft, no problem. Torrents? Piece of cake. Just recently uploading an HD video to Youtube with my new Kodak Zi8? Slooowwww...
I have a measly 1Mbps upload speed. If I wanted 2Mbps, my monthly internet bill would over double. What's the deal with such puny upload speeds?
I'm all for "The Cloud." It's more convenient, and despite people receiving constant warnings, most STILL don't back up. The Cloud (mostly) solves that problem. The big hold up is that the cloud idea doesn't work if performance takes a nose dive compared to keeping the data local. Currently, upload speeds are the biggest behind-the-times factor.
Please, ISPs, if you're listening... for the love of all that is good... raise the upload speeds!
