I need fast upload speeds. I can just imagine what other businesses face. They are stifling the growth of this area by limiting broadband. An example of how capitalism can stifle growth :( . Or maybe a poor business choice for them. If Verizon does ever come they are going to have no customers anymore for being treated like dirt. The upload speeds are to slow for my business.

Rochester is in the top 20 economies of the ENTIRE country with Syracuse and Buffalo. Rochester is the 3rd largest city in the state behind NYC and Buffalo with the second highest economy of the state. All this says that there are enough people, and cash in the area for faster speeds. At this point in time, I would settle for the 2Mb upload speed that Turbo should be giving us instead of the 1 that everyone currently enjoys.
