I find gig a bit unnecessary - but I find the 20Mbit upload limits very restrictive.

 

Some other ISPs offer 200/100, 200/200. Any plans to do the same?

Bigpipe used to do 200/200. It was changed to 1000/500 for the same price per month.

 

While I agree that it'd be nice for more options to be available (from ISPs in general), most people only care about two things: download speed and price. The wholesale plans with higher upload cost more, which would mean new plans would need to be implemented. Unless there is a lot of demand, it's likely not worth the cost of updating billing systems, websites, back end infrastructure configs, support templates, etc to implement them.

Nope. Not at the moment, anyway. :)

 

(There are some good reasons why outlined in this thread, but I can add that there also simply isn't that much demand for it.)
