Uploading some files to a friend & I thought the 600k line was specced at 256k upload, I'm only getting about 1/2 that. Can anyone confirm before I waste 1/2 my day trying to get through to them to complain.

Thanks
Jay

It will be 256 but you'll never get that just like you never get 600 down

Question

AFAIK the 600Kb download has 128Kb upload and the 1MB download has 256kb upload.

So looks like it's right

Taken off NTL's site : Speeds

I get 600K and more on d/l - I guess it depends on how many people have cable modems in your street. 128K is the standard for upload.

R.B.5 He's talking kilobits and ur talking kilobytes. Most broadband connections are measures in kilobits. There are 8 bits to a byte so a 512kilobit connection will download at a theoretical maximum of 64kbytes.
