um, what are you trying to upload? and what are you using for a connection?

if your using a cable modem, forget it, cable modems have much less upload spectrum then download spectrum, (thats why ISP's sometimes get ticked if you run a server)

Depends on your connection and its not a fixed percentage because any uploading activity will cause your DL to decrease

If you're on a 1.5MB line (which costs in the order of several hundred dollars per month) and youre only getting 42KB/s upload then definitely call up and yell at your provider!

What is the differents becween 1.5MB and 1.5Mb?

does the MB and Mb matter? just woundering.

Here you go:

"MB"---stands for Megabyte

"Mb"---stands for Megabit

definitions:

I hope I'm right on that.

Maybe I'm confused.

1.5MB is 8 times larger than 1.5Mb, and usually internet speeds are measured in bits per second. So being on a 1.5MB line is amazingly fast. (I think)

For a household line i think the most you can get is a ADSL 8Mbit (real 8mbit -- the same as the corporate stuff as opposed to your normal, highly variable highspeed lines). It still runs in thr several hundred/month bracket.
