Newer technologies are changing all this. FTTH (Fiber to the Home)
is a symmetrical service, limited only by the quality of the
repeaters, routers, and backhaul. And DOCSIS 3 permits much higher
upstream, so it can be configured to seem symmetrical.
Pricing is, of course, simply what the market will bear, plus a giant
dose of consumer and political stupidity.
My condo complex has fiber but maybe Time Warner is holding out?
Multi-dwelling units are a whole other ball of wax; a magnitude
beyond political stupidity. Landlords like to extort service
providers, make them pay for access, er a give kickbacks, etc. It
ain't pretty, and all it does is cost the consumers more and more.
