It takes more than a "couple" (see my analysis in
<news:%oXe6.200$Tf1.8852@typhoon.sonic.net>), but it is true that a
relatively small number of heavy uploaders can really kill download
speed on the cable segment.  But that's because the MSO hasn't deployed
enough upstream capacity -- it's not the fault of users.
