Is this good?
Bloody well should be, but what upload speed is the norm and why is it so much less than the download speed?"Hurrah for the Works Group" just doesn't have the same ring...
"A volunteer is worth ten pressed men."
So, a TA battalion or nine Regular Guards battalions? Not a difficult choice, then (especially as we don't have nine Regular Guards battalions).
I am a number. I am not a free man.

I pay for 10 and here's my result
The difference between up and down is because the thing is 'assymetric' coz it is assummed that you normally GET stuff from the net rather than PUT stuff up to the net which is what most of us do and a slower speed up is acceptable.

Guess I'm alright then?
Two problems you will have in the real world, ISPs that are pushing beyond 20:1 and 50:1 at peak times and exchanges that are limited by the size of the backhaul to the BT core network.
The short term nothing will change, in the medium term you'll start to see more expensive services with guarantees about performance, and in the longer term you will see ADSL replaced by ethernet with service level directly related to charging. Oh and did I mention that it will be more expensive?Current firearms legislation is preventing a great many guilty parties from retiring to their study and doing the decent thing.
