That is a good point, actually... the asymmetry of ADSL means the other side downloading the data can only receive it as fast as the originating side can send it. Assuming ADSL, say, 512Kbps up, the other side can only support 512Kbps down, assuming all transit paths are clean and clear (suffice it to say, the 512Kbps up package would likely be on the "premier" side). Cheers, Mark.
