To be honest you are going to have to accept the lower upload speeds, unless you want to pay for a leased line or SDSL....

512k upload is a joke, to lower it when customers paid more to upgrade to it, and make it the same speed as a cheaper tariff is just a joke.
I am sure more than half this forums population would agree with me on that one, and I am not just talking about the heavy p2p users I am talking about gamers like me who have a network at home.
If NTL even bothered to offer a solution I would be interested but I am not going to upgrade to 20mb, their is no need on the internet today for 20mb downstream speeds which are unusable since half the internet's servers cannot provide on that speed.
