Hey cut that out!

Aneeway, thaat is a problem with ADSL. That's what the A stands for: assymetric, as in "my dld bandwidth is, like 500% bigger than my upload bandwidth". (there's also lo and hi ADSL but let's skip that)
What you must do is figure out your upload bandwidth. Most ISPs advertise only the dld bandwidth saying: "Hey, lookie here! 8MBps!" and for all you know, the upload bandwidth could be 8KBps... So ask them. What upload bandwidth are you paying for?
