Last time I had this exact problem it was a misconfigured router at the ISP.
The time before that it was a cat5 jumper miswired....okay rcv, very slow
xmit. The time before that it was a miconfigured dlci on a numbered fr ckt
with an odd yet powerful Compatible Systems router. The time before that
it was a bad pair on a T. Remember, even Sdls is still really Adsl with
matched speeds. The phone company(clec, dslam, or wherever it is for you)
on the ATM backbone, separates the send and receive very
dramatically....IE...with bgp routing my send through an ATM backbone goes
through around 28 hops, while the receive hits around 3 hops. Len is, as
usual, correct in his inquiry regarding the FTP. That would tell you
bunches.
My favorite tools for checking these sorts of ugliness are the following:
1 Ganymede's QCHECK
2 dslreports.com Can do up and DL speed tests.

Do you have an ftp site where you let her try that protocol to see if a
file upload it goes slow, also?
That would take Imail out of the loop.
Must be something in her machine or her machine to the DSL modem. This
smells like a site visit revenue opportunity. vbg
She can DL mail and files from web sites at "normal" speeds?
The DSLAM is yours or the telco's or a CLEC's? Maybe they've got some bw
limiting going on in their DSLAM site.
