TW and ADSL 2Mb has a 256k upstream. Doubt ntl's would have anything different. Current home permanent internet connection technology was unfortunately designed with the assumption that people would download more than upload. This is actually pretty much true, as the vast majority of people only use their upload for emails and HTTP requests, while the download gets emails, HTTP content, video, streaming sound etc.

All this means that download will outstrip upload for the foreseeable future, and it's easier to increase the downstream speed than the upstream.
