The constraint on upstream was placed due to bandwidth hogs. The upstream is not as robust because so far it hasn't needed to be. When one person is doing continual heavy upstream transfer, bandwidth which was previously allocated by demand, goes to the hog. This left very little for all the other intermittent demands to squeeze through. The way this is connected to the multiple ISP issue can be seen if one assumes the headend provisioning remains static and the allocated spectrum remains in its current organization. Even with many ISPs operating under a different model there won't be the upstream load that there is downstream, but those in charge will have to arbitrarily constrain how much goes up, at least until we do have optic fiber to in the loop.
