because when uploads are cheap people abuse them and companies have to 
spend extra money on policing them.  Imagine if you gave everyone the 
power to share kiddie pr0n at high speed.  How much extra would it cost 
the isps to do the courts dirty work?  Every pipe in the connection 
potentially has this extra cost associated with it and it all adds up 
for companies like telewest who buy bandwidth from many companies.

this is why tradionally upload speed costs more than downloads.  Besides 
it creates demand for other products companies might sell such as SDSL 
and business broadband that normally come at a much higher cost because 
of the scarcity of cheap upload connections.
