The biggest reasons to upgrade...
1. Max upload is 10% of rated download... upload is more of your experience of speed than you realise, especially with video conferencing, etc
2. Contention is designed to degrades evenly... even if the loop is over subscribed a higher download speed will ensure more of it is available to you when congestion occurs

I knew upload would be faster but my theory for even considering upgrading, which is probably entirely flawed, was simply that fewer people would be on the 350 network so I might get more of the pipe to myself. I have no idea how the network works so this is probably horseshit but it's why I started thinking about the upgrade. It's £15/month extra. Will it make £15 difference to my life?
