I have 3MB upload speeds with Cox in my area (Las Vegas). 20 down/3 up for $54 a month. Just because Comcrap is not giving it to you, you shouldn't assume that no one can get it.IIP said:Which means "almost no one", unfortunately.

I'm on Comcast, on the fastest tier in my area, and around $80/month. It's 8Mb down but only 768k up...
