Your download speeds and upload speeds are different. Upload on downestic broadband has always been much much slower. It's the same for cable and ADSL phone lines (the A in ADSL actually standing for Assymetric) You have to got to a leased line, or the gereally superceeded ISDN lines to find balanced upload and download speeds.

The residential companies have always headlined their download speed, as that's the big number attraction. For most people that is the speed of most concern as ti's how long to get a file onto their PC.

Oddly its quite hard to find the ntl download to upload speed comparisons.
