And really, 20 mbps at the bottom tier for broadband isn't all that unreasonable. We're talking about the floor level here.

20mbits at bottom tier would be fine, but there are currently top tier cable plans, 1gbps down and still only 10mbps up. Upload speed needs to scale at least proportionallly, if not symmetrically.
