Given network will need upgrade in a lot of areas to do 5 a better question is how much they want to spend upgrading the network in order to upgrade the upload.
Another probably more relevant question is what kind of things will be brought in to control usage on these upgraded upstream speeds as going by past experience it would seem extremely unlikely that this upgrade will come without conditions, be they some excessive usage policy or STM or even protocol shaping.
The more they spend the higher it can go, the more they bring in additional controls the higher it can go.
