Yes both upstream and downstream is shared but the main reason it slows down here is due to leechers uploading and downloading at max speed 24/7 - its contended to ensure you get the speed or almost achieve it. In the USA this is not the case the whole bandwidth is shared, you could be on a 3meg connection and not ever get that speed, you may not even reach speeds above 56k due to the amount of people using the service.

Your comments to Kits by the way are pathetic

And in my opinion sky do provide a better service and I shall be switching - read the post correctly next time will you.
