What most people have is ADSL and the A stands for Asymmetric because
there is greater bandwidth dedicated to stuff coming to you rather than
outbound. It's a reasonable thing because most people send a small
request like an URL and get back megabytes of data. How fast depends on
how much you pay and how far you are from the central office. Last I
checked, ADSL max download speed was about 9Mbps while upload maxed out
at 640Kbps. Depending on distance you might never be able to achieve
those throughputs, even if you pay for top tier ADSL. Likewise, if
you're on a lower plan they will just cap the throughput on their
routers to ensure you don't get more than you paid for. ADSL was a bit
of a bandaid used by the telcos until they could get something more
competitive rolled out. It uses the same copper wire plant as plain old
telephone service so there is only so much they can do with it.

Hi Rhonda, you can’t with out QOS and I’d argue your connection is to slow to
take much advantage of QOS anyway. One thing you might do is up your plan
depending on what DSL plan you’re on. They may have a faster plan with more
upload and download capacity but with DSL theres just not that much headroom.
I’m not sure geographically where you are but a wireless provider may
be a way to go. T-Mobile and Verizon both have very good networks and
unlimited plans with as much as 60 megabits up and 400 down, maybe more
depending where they are in their update cycle. Also depends where in the
world you’re located.
Hope that helps.

Subject: Re: upload speed very low
DSL is very limited in it’s upload speed assuming you’re using regular old ADSL
from AT&T. At most you’re going to have a single megabit up or so and a few
down, more likely you have 128 or 384K up which is a very small up channel.
QOS or quality of service doesn’t change your speed, it prioritizes what
traffic uses the bandwidth that you have. You might for example tag video and
phone as most preferred because they are very time sensitive where as you might
tag web traffic as less preferred because you’d rather have your page load a
little more slowly if your on the phone so your call quality is preserved. You
only have what speeds you have available in your plan however.
Hope this helps clear things up.

Hello I have ATT DSL internet service am getting very low upload
speeds
0.11 Mbps highest I've seen is 0.30 Mbp I was told routers have
QOS settings where you can set what gets priority. My router does not
have qos settings. I can't upgrade, no other providers where I
live. Is there any way to help maximize the upload speed? I work from
home and this is affecting my ability to do my job.
Thanks for any thoughts.
