With 1.8Mbps up link, that's roughly 0.2 mega bytes per second, so, if 
you run servers from your home that your customers access, what happens 
if someone downloads a 100MB file, or 10 users all at once do it?  
0.2mega bytes for 10 people is not so fast.. then if you have 50 
customers logging in, it just keeps cutting down the speed massively. 
Compare this to a shared web hosting account which can handle 100's of 
users at once and user still downloads files at high speed..

Conspiracy theory: they are all purposely limiting upload speeds so we 
don't run our own servers! They are the new world order, trying to stop 
us from building OUR own internet hosted from our homes :-)
