upload rates usually vary from 512k to 1M, download from 512k to 8M (thou there are 24M rates i've heard so, but not seen..)

Hey Guys thanks for the all the information.

I think the top and botom is that for some reason in the UK we get poor upload speeds (any one knows why let me know?) unless we pay mega bucks.

As for upload speeds being really low compared to download speeds, i believe its because of more than one reason. Firstly downlad speed is more critical than upload so the architecture of BT's ADSL was built to reflect that and secondly. SDSL (symetrical) is available at a much higher cost where the upload speed is similar to download speed but this clearly uses a lot more of the bandwidth available, which would mean lower speeds across the board on the existing pipes.
