The upload is slow because of the origins of the 1Mbps service. Originally it would have been the snails pace introductory download at 128 or 256 Kpbs. Althouhg they have increased the download speeds, they have not upgraded the upload by a similar factor. Essentially Telewest still want you , the user, to decide you need more Oomph, and pay the extra pennies for a faster service alround.

The same will hold true for ntl, when they do their "coming soon" upgrades.
