It's also not 24Mbps maxes at 21.5 if you live inside the exchange, and the upload roughly 1.1Mbps or so.

Which is a worse ratio than the 10:1 on ntl's products, and similar to the 20:1 ratio on the 10Mbit.

Personally I agree with you that upload speeds suck ass in the UK as a whole.

If you don't want ntl though go with whoever supplies you with the service you want, that way you don't have to have those pithy remarks about 'unlimited' in your user title and signature

If you want to point fingers at a badly asymettrical service look at BY's 10Mbit with its' massive 384kbps upload.

If the original poster finds 2Mbit / 200kbit is not satisfactory for his needs (I can speculate as to why he apparently needs to be uploading constantly at 15kB/s) then the 10Mbit / 512kbit service is an option however this does come with a 75GB/mth bandwidth limit.
