Upload Speed
6 Answers
A question in this section recently mentioned the need for a good upload speed for hosting online games using an Xbox. How do I find out what my upload speed is, so I can determine whether I can do this before I shell out on a console? I have blueyonder broadband 750, with one pc attached.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I guess you have ADSL broadband. ADSL is asymmetric digital subscriber line. It is asymmetric as the download bandwidth is higher than the upload bandwidth. Typically, a 512 KB download will have a 128 KB upload ie about a quater of the bandwidth. You can buy symmetric digital subscriber lines but they are more expensive. Dial-up and cable internet connections are also usually asymmetric. Obviously, if you upgrade your download bandwidth it will upgrade your upload bandwidth.
The maximum upload speed is 256K. However if you have the 3Mb service this will soon be 384K. Have a look at
