Another place to look is <http://www.iec.org/online/tutorials/adsl/>
Also if you put "ADSL definition" into a search engine you'll find that "Asymmetric" means you'll rarely exceed 648Kbps bi-directional throughput. the protocol for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is set up so the download to the end user is faster than the upload to the telco networks CO. Suggest you do some background reading on the theory of the protocol and that will clear up your questions. <www.covad.com> is still the major supplier for ADSL in USA. Their pricing and speed offering a representative of what you can get for most locations. Around here to reach 9Mbps - 10Mbps speed takes a fiber drop at your office or home. Which is geographically limited in our county. Not everyone has a glass pipe to their front door, yet - soon? - later = more than likely in today's financial climate.
