High download speed slow upload....

Hey my ISP is Comcast and I download torrents and files usually at speeds of 300-900 kb/s.

But for some reason my upload speed is never higher than 40 kb/s.

Is this normal?

Thanks

Yup, I have comcast also and I got amazing download speeds which I prolly don't even use most of it, and my upload is capped at 45kb/s. Thanks Comcast!

Same here lol. :lol:

My max d/l was 1.5 mbps

My max upload was 51 kbps. :lol:

in most markets, for $10 more per month, you can get a 90KB upload. definitely worth the extra dollars. give them a call and ask about increasing your upload speed.

Blame ISP monopolies for such slow and asymmetrical connections...

I think high dl and low ul applies to most ISP if not all.

Atleast upload rates seem to be getting better as people are turning into "creators" of "web 2.0", prompting ISPs to provide better upload speeds so that people can share pictures, use VoIP, etc.

2048/128.. too bad :(
