People provided at most 3 other examples, 2 of which are definitely edge cases and one of which is incredibly low bandwidth in the long term.

The internet is quickly transitioning to a place where users generate as much content than they consume. People share photos, videos, and music constantly and there are more and more services popping up that allow for people to access information from their home networks easily. Most consumer-grade routers come with an easy to setup "personal cloud" feature to enable people to access their home networks from anywhere online.

Services like Skype, Dropbox, Vine, Picasa/Flickr and YouTube are not just used by the fringes of Internet society, they are used constantly by everyday folks. You're either living in a bubble, ignorant of the changes that have taken place over the years or are just too stubborn to admit that you're wrong. Either way, consumer class upload speeds are horrible for all tiers of service and it is a major limiting factor for residential connections (especially with multiple users).
