It's not 'natural' it's just how you use your service. Others will download more as their download speed increases as they have no interest in uploading or do anything that uses it. To each their own.

That's almost the nub of this thread when you get down to it.
Well the nub of the thread was 20Mbps and 2Mbps upstream trials but it soon diversified regrettably into an excuse to have a moan at VM about something that has quite simply never been an issue previously.

FYI - All previous tier uplifts on Telewest, yes right since their deployment of 1Mbps services 7 years ago, and Virgin Media since merger were trialled in this manner and Moldova's comment was a light hearted and quite wistful one, he's well used to this and he knows that it really isn't a major problem to the business or its' customers, with the exception of yourself who appears to look for any excuse to comment on:

plain old good practice which would be byond VM and it's renowned quality director
Oddly no-one seemed fussed by the 5Mbps upstream trial roughbeast found himself on or the Hudderfield 5 and 10Mbps rollouts, only this trial and some bandwagon jumping that kicked off the whine-line
