Last night I was uploading 25Meg to a website (not PN) and it seemed to take forever.

So I don't think you really have anything to worry about.

It's an 8 quid a month
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

@adiewoo
Double upload speed would be nice but I can't really justify an extra £8 a month for it for the times I do have big uploads.
I always said they'd got the planning wrong with Max - I'd have been much happier with 5Meg down and 1Meg up - I think they were a bit short sighted to assume that all people did was to browse web pages.

I'm sure Barry will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the frequencies on standard ADSL will allow upload speeds that high.

You're right, James - the frequency band for ADSL upstream is pretty narrow and it's also very difficult to squeeze any more bits into each tone. Max Premium adjusts the frequency spread used for upstream and downstream.
The basic frequency allocation for ADSL are:
* 0-4 kHz, voice.
* 4-25 kHz, unused "guard" band. (This essentially gives a buffer between the voice signal and the ADSL tones)
* 25-138 kHz, 25 upstream bins (7-31).
* 138-1107 kHz, 224 downstream bins (32-255).
Each bin can carry (up to) 15 bits.
I do tend to agree with pd - by sacrificing a little downstream bandwidth they could have improved the upstream. HOWEVER, this would have meant sacrificing the "most reliable" frequencies from the downstream, which certainly would have meant that some of the longer reach (61dB+ attenuation) lines may not have been able to receive an ADSL connection at all.
ADSL2+ does seem to allow some means of reallocating upstream/downstream "bins", but it does vary by DSLAM vendor so don't expect it to be easy!

I guess then that maybe they DID know what they were doing.

So, on a long-reach 61dB line, you could have been limited to 288K upstream, to give you perhaps 1M downstream. Those of you who live inside the exchange could have settled for a 5Meg downstream and 4Meg upstream if they had chosen.
Would have meant investing in more backhaul capacity upstream though..

What sync speed does your router report for upload?

Have you tweaked your MTU and RWIN settings? That might help.

I did tweak the MTU and RWIN some time ago but it didn't seem to make any difference. 365-375 is around the figure I would have expected.
