There are a lot of people who care about upload, and a majority of the
time they go with DSL for a constant upload speed. With Cox cable,
the upload speed is usually about 100-150k. If a provider has a
"anti-server" policy, that hardly effects relevancy.
DSL speeds are whatever you are assigned through the DSL DSLAM at
installation. I haven't used DSL since 2001 through QWest. I've had
1.5mb down/650k upload (ADSL), and it's just what the name says.

It's your connection, everyone else is able to pull down 200kps
through a normal connection. 67k is not rare, and YouTube isn't
slow...
