Many thanks, Zeph !
That was the speed last year when the internet speeds changed, so it looks as though I've not missed any announcement that upload speeds have increased.
I was on the phone to ntl today and I was told I shoud be uploading at over 100 and was advised to get my computer upgraded or get a new computer. The 10 kB/s to 15 kB/s is the bare minimum, the lady said and I ought to get nearly ten times that. When I found the same figure on this thread I thought I'd really got to do something about it. Thanks for the arithmetic lesson.
Do you know the upload speed for 2MB these days ? I'm thinking of getting the new set top box so I can upload faster. The speeds used to be on the ntlworld website but I'm blowed if I can find them now.
At my present rate of upload, family DVDs arrive in the post to Europe or even New Zealand faster than I can send them through irc or a torrent.
