Trade Download Speed For Upload Speed ?

[#1]

Hi
Title says it all really - is there any way to trade download speed for upload speed ?
I have a solid 7.5mb download connection, but the upload is very slow. This is not a fault - it's running at near enough 448kbps (actually around 450kbps - 45K), but it's just so slow compared to download speed.
My nextdoor neibour who is with a different isp (think sat tv) gets just about double my upload speed (and almost double my download speed !), which is annoying lol.
Anything I can do ?  I'd even concider paying a bit more for better upload speed.
Thanks

if your exchange is enabled for ADSL2+, 21CN in BT speak, you could move on to that and get both higher download and upload.
Otherwise your only option is to pay for ADSL Max Premium which will double your upload speed, this costs around 8-9 pounds a month.

£7.83 - details available starting from here: http://portal.plus.net/wizard/?wizard_id=20
Note that although it says all broadband customers it is only relevant to 20CN users.

Thank you - I have ordered max premium. Hope it goes well

Well I put the order in 9 days ago and have heard nothing - nada. The ticket looks like no one has even looked at it.
Mmmmmm.

Couldn't find anywhere to "vote" - only to register an interest - am I missing something?

[#13]

The voting closed at the end of Dec 2010, like you I will never get FO can't even get above 8meg

[#14]

I guess in BT speak are they saying that it's their intention to roll out in your area at some stage - which is good
So go ahead and register an interest...you never know

I've done that now.....I'll blame you if I now get bombarded by Sales calls from B(ombay)T
