Fast connections of end users to the Internet are becoming more and more common today, and the most common types of these fast connections are ADSL and cable modems. These connections are typically highly asymmetric and allow typically 500-1500 KBit per second (most typically 750 Kbit) for the downlink and typically for example 64KBit or 96Kbit per second for the uplink (although standard ADSL can in principle support up to 8Mbit per second download speed and up to 800Kbit per second upload speed), based on the assumption that most users download much more data than they upload. However, at least for some users these limitations are highly undesirable, and these are for example users or small businesses or organizations who want to use the connection also for example for VOIP (voice over IP) communications or Video-over IP communications or conferences or for example running web servers. Actually ADSL is beginning to be replaced by VDSL in places where the distance to the nearest street switchboard is about 1.2 Kilometers or less, which in principle allows up to 52 Mbit per second Download speed and up to 16Mbit per Second Upload speed. However, even when end users become connected directly by fiber-optics, the typical ratio of much more Downlink versus Uplink will remain. The present invention tries to solve the problem for users who need constantly or on a changing basis more Uplink by preferably allowing users to preferably temporarily change their Uplink- Downlink ratio on a need basis while preferably keeping the general balance across users. Other variations allow also compensating for example for variations of the average ratio across users for example according to time of day.
