Higher Upstream may come when upstream channel bonding is available (2009/2010).
The other option is to spend shed loads of money to bring the return path up to a higher quality to support QAM32 or QAM64.
No one is giving numbers for what they want in upload, but I believe the general consensus is at least and upload bandwidth that meets the overhead of the download speed they are advertising.
