Nope. In fact I'm not convinced it's the amount of data that is of
overwhelming significance as much as the time to transmit. Or at least that
seems to be the conclusion after you examine corporate WAN utilisation...
quite low.

It wouldn't largely inconvenience most corporates, after all the asymmetry is
between 640k up and 4M down, so you could call it symmetric at 640k, roughly,
and that's a lot better than what I had^h^h^h could afford in the old days...
