Upstream bandwidth options

With multiple family members working (& schooling) from home, the upstream bandwidth on my service is woefully deficient.  Where are the upstream bandwidths of the various plans published?

The best Comcast offers is a laughable 35mbps, with their Gigabit package. The next highest tiers (the various "Extreme" offerings) have 20-25mbps upstream, then the "Blast" tiers are a pathetic 10mbps, with the horribly ironically named "Performance" tiers rounding out the bottom at 2-5mbps.

Mind you these are all megabits per second, which translates to ~5MB/sec at Gigabit, 3-4MB/sec at Extreme, about 1.25MB/sec at Blast, and <1MB/sec at Performance.

For someone like me where I have to upload multi-gigabyte files regularly for work, this is obscene... and naturally Comcast is a local monopoly here, as it usually is.
