Dont know about upload, i dont upload anything bar a jpeg to a webpage, but i'm sure its more than adequate thanks.
So you think ntl is the better deal? Maybe for some, but not all.
All I am saying is that the grass is not always greener etc, etc, especially when it comes to ADSL.

The 10 meg service from NTL should, theoretically be better than ADSL because there is no line length issue, however, as some (but not all) have reported there are some implementation and congestion issues in some areas which NTL have to sort out before it can universally be said to be better.

We should also remember that both services are contended, i.e. you share some component of the bandwidth with others so you can't expect to run at full speed all of the time.
