you would be in shock as thats impossible u/l at 46kb/s & d/l at 245kb/s at the same time on a 2mb service.

I think you need to go to the Opticians i suggest Specsavers

(Oh!! damn i was gonna add this information to my thread to keep it from disappearing oh well i will have to dig up something else)

ADSL 2048/256
upload around 32kb/s
download around 250kb/s

Speed (kbps) Translated to: Speed (KBps)
128............................................... ..16
256............................................... ..32
384............................................... ..48
768............................................... ..96
1000.............................................. .125
1500.............................................. .187.5
2000.............................................. .250
3000.............................................. .375
7100.............................................. .887.5

And so on.................
The speeds above are the same factor for Upload as well.

A KiloByte = a KiloBit divided by 8

Example: 2000 Downstream is equal to 2000/8 (2000 divided by 8) Which gives you 250KBps maximum downstream.

A slower upstream (upload) speed can traded off for a faster downstream (download) speed with tweaking If your ADSL ISP will alow you to fiddle

I think i'll save the part about asymmetric & contension (contended) ratios & for my other thread to bump it back into view again.
