Well, that's for businesses sure - if they are using cameras for surveillance or conferencing etc. they would need such high uploads to assure quality of sound/image and high framerates. With IP cams if you miss a single frame, someone could be in the door while you are waiting for the feed to refresh.
I have around 1.5 upstream with AT&T DSL and it costs me a fraction of what TW would cost me. For what I do, I am fixated on download speeds as I don't utilize upstream enough to warrant such a price jump. Unless I was hosting a traffic-heavy server like I used to, or doing 4-way video conferences daily with clients, it just isn't justified.
