You are right. If you have to send the files to anyone, it will only go as fast as you can send it, which will be 256k.

It doesn't matter how he gets the data from you, the important thing is, that it has to come from you. Your upload speed is 256k, so that is all anyone can get from you, even on an OC-43 line.

Some protocols are better at transfering data because of the effciency, but we are talking very minor differences in speed. 1/10th k/sec probably. It would be more effected by traffic levels, etc.
