There area some sites that allow you to test your upload speed with you DSL line. This is the one that I used to test mine. Why not check out yours.
http://performance.toast.net/ Then test you speed on the VA online demo. If you DSL is typical, upload will be about 1/6 the speed of download. If the VADemo moves quicker than that, then maybe there is hope that there is some sort of configuration parameter you can change to improve things.
