Slow Uploads?

Hey,

Just did a speed test on ADSL guide and my uploads are coming out at 110kbps (13.8KB/Sec) actual speed. Im on the 2mb package and downloads are fine. Can anyone tell me if this is the limit on the uploads? as it seems shockingly slow to me.

Cheers

James

Fair doos, thanks anyway. It's just on BitTorrent (downloading legal stuff of course) that any uploads higher than 5kb/s completely ruins my down speed and I can't access any websites. Bummer.

Cheers anyway

its as slow as the weakest link if you have given to much then it will be slow
a friend put his as t3 and he regretted it
also restrict the amount of uploads
