OK time to get a grip on all of this.

Firstly, your disconnects are probably due to you being too far from the exchange for the speed Bulldog have set you at, so you're going to need to get them to slow you down a bit, also you need microfilters on all phone sockets - I trust you've got these?

With Bulldog the upload depends entirely on if you're on LLU which is their 8Mbit service or if you're on 2Mbit max service.

If you're in one of their 8Mbit areas your upload even with 2Mbit will probably be 512k still.

Online gaming, the upload bandwidth doesn't make that much odds at all, so long as they offer enough bandwidth for the game you're playing the pings etc are the same whether on 256k, 512k or 100mbit.
