Point:  I have a DSL line which is limited to 6Mbps down and 756Kbps up.
My guess is that if any typical/average user is seen to be using more
than, say, 1/10 of that amount of "up" bandwidth in any one given 10
minute time period, then something is really really REALLY wrong.

Online backup service like Carbonite and Backblaze copy lots of data upstream.  iPhone backups would probably saturate 
your line for a good chunk of 10 minutes.  Even posting a bunch of photos could take that long.  Oh, and bittorrent.
