Not only they have no Symmetric packages offered on their website for the
NGN world, all their Asymmetric packages still have ridiculous upstream
bandwidth as ever. For example 30Mbit/s down with... 1Mbit/s up. Sometimes I
even wonder if this upstream is fast enough to sustain all the TCP ACKs for
a 30Mbit/s download :(

Of course, I doubt this is an NGN limitation. If we would have a FiOS[1]
equivalent bandwidth, like 50Mbit/s down and 20Mbit/s up... how could they
sell a lousy 2Mbit/s up/down E1 for thousands of shekels every month?
