May or May not be off-topic...

[Mick Ohrberg]

Ah, I see. The simple stuff. :) So really, in order to get higher 'upload' speeds (from my point of 
view) I'd have to go to a broader droadband (at least upstreams) then...mo' money, mo' money, mo' 
money. 

Thanks for clarifying! :)

| RR and most ISP's give you the bandwidth measured in kilo bits, and the
| absolute maximum on a clear day, when the moon is in alignment with your
| data line.
| 
| Depending on your cable line quality and signal strength, you could see
| less bandwidth or more loss.
| 
| You are thinking of the bandwidth in kilo bytes, not in kilo bits.
| 
| You can always count on around 10% bandwidth loss, so of your 384 kbits,
| you will really only see around 345 kbits.  Now divid the 384 kbits by
| 8, and you end up with around 43 kbytes/sec.
| 
| 
| Getting 34 kb/sec upstream over inexpensive routers is not bad, your
| realizing about 272 kbits.
