upload in the "true sense" as you put it, is nothing to do with torrents,ftp etc in this case.

its all to do with having enough upload space and a good extra overhead for the ACK packets to pass unhindered so as to use the download rates as supplyed and payed for... without stalling the connection, and so never a possibility of reaching the top speeds .

its all about the ratio, and 50Mbit to 1.5Mbit ratio is not enough even on paper, never mind the real world overheads of docsis3 ,tcp/ip etc.

The Ashford 50Mb/s Trialists are getting the full 50Mb/s Download with 1.5Mb/s Upload? I read it on their user forum
