Information flow is generally from a business to a home user, i.e.
businesses "send" more information than (non P2P) home users.

So while 10:1 down/up may be OK for home users, many businesses need 2:1
with minimum "up" speed at least as fast as a home users "down" speed (e.g.
remote email access to Exchange Server at work).

A 256k or 512k upload speed would have made UBS "usable" for businesses, but
Telecom don't seem to care about the needs of "other" NZ businesses.

Cheers
