ISP's deliberately throttle back upload speeds...
Check with them if you need more and pull out the wallet...

Not to hijack this thread, but since we're on the topic...

We have a thread on my forum regarding this topic:  http://www.saviourpc.com/forums/index.php/topic,24.0.html

Those with broadband connections seem to have their download and upload info displayed correctly...while those on dial up will show their upload speeds to be faster than their download speeds...which is not normally the case...since the downline should have less noise, thus increased speed.

One of our users...seemed to think it was a "glitch", however...I had one of the users test it at different intervals...and he still reports around the same speeds.

With a dial up connection, these speeds, to me, seem incorrect.

Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation when using these speed tests with a dial up connection?

What type of Internet access are we talking here?  dialup, DSL, cable?  If DSL, what is your download and upload speed supposed to be, per your ISP?  What are your actual speeds?
