symmetric vs. asymmetric [was: Verizon Policy Statement on Net Neutrality]

[marka at isc.org (Mark Andrews)]

Home users should be able to upload a content in the same amount
of time it takes to download content.  It doesn't matter if they
only do this occasionally.  Without symetric speeds they can't do
this.  They are being given a slow path.

Arguing otherwise is like saying that their time is not important.

Yes, that capacity is sitting idle most of the time but so what!
We really should be delivering connections where link speed is not
the limiting factor.
