768/256 download/upload is what I have. Upload is generally slower then download, it's a fact of nature.

lol @ the possibility of that theory being correct for adsl

lol @ the complete lack of understanding of the adsl nature here

and you call yourselves GEEKS?!?!

not everyone is as smart and godlike as you, you'll have to learn to live with it.

when will people end up being as good as me?

you do realize that its just a fucking piece of metal in a plastic coating, right? That the only thing that could possibly be limiting the rate at which electrical impulses shoot through it is software.

Limiting the rate, yes - but. Resistance, interference, and signal strength all affect signal quality as well. At the protocol level upstream and downstream transfers are identical, just reversed in directions. However, most in home technologies have limited available upstream bandwidth. ADSL= Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line. Generally speaking, that means your upload will be significantly less than your download... Cable also has limited available upload bandwidth because it was designed to be a downstreaming technology.

ADSL as opposed to SDSL. SDSL is only required by some businesses since your D/U ratio equals to one. That is why it is more expensive.

itll just be slower and shitty. same speed both ways. Havent you ever used a home network? same speeds if your computers are fast enough...

attenuation and interference have nothing to do with the transition from upload to download.
