because then they can sell the higher rate for more money which costs them the same money.
in canada they don't cap it. there was a big controversy and a law suit.
my friend in canada has 5-6mb download and 1mb upload

Well I'm sure they'd love to offer a 5k upload cap if they could. There is a minimum upload that you have to have to be able to download at a certian speed.
It's the "laws of bandwidth". You have to have a certian amount of upload in order to have certian amount of download.
Example (I'm not using real numbers). I you want to download at 2mB/sec, you need to have at least a 200kB/sec upload. If you were to increase the download to 3mB/sec, it wouldn't work unless the upload is also increased via the d/u ratio.

spanky... you work for the XBL tech lines?!
Hook me up wid a year subscription, y0!
I switched to month by month until I got a new job to pay for the full year. I have like 50 bucks credit at Gamestop, so I'm debating on a new XBL subscription card, or reserving Halo 2.

I just took a test on my Cable.
2003-12-28 00:43:51 EST: 2766 / 365
Your download speed : 2766906 bps, or 2766 kbps.
A 337.7 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 365697 bps, or 365 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!
That's about my standard. I need a new router, though. Right now I'm running without a router, so when I go on Live I have to go through the router.
The thing cuts my broadband off completely, or down to almost nothing. Anyone know a good router that doesn't cut off?
