Q: Why is the upstream not being upgraded?

A: As with other broadband technologies (such as ADSL), blueyonder's
broadband services have higher downstream speed than upstream. This is
because most of the activities which our customer use their broadband
services for such as reading emails, downloading software or music files,
surfing the web or watching online videos, require a high downstream speed
but do not require a high upstream speed. We believe that the current
upstream speeds offered by our services remains sufficient for the vast
majority of our customers.

We have therefore decided to focus at this time on improving the part of
our
service which will make the biggest difference to our customers -
increasing
the downstream speed. That means faster downloads of music, software and
emails, and higher quality video online.

We understand that a small group of our 'power-user' customers may benefit
from increased upstream speed, and will continue to look for ways in which
we can meet this need.
