I am with 256Kbps upload speed which equals 32 kB upload in file size terms. I supposedly have a 3Mbps download speed. Does this seem way out of proportion?  I have heard of much higher upload speeds.
I have Charter Communications for an ISP and pay about $50.
What size upload speed do you have? I am trying out the poll feature for the first time here. I hope it works. 
Note: This poll is not about what your download speed is. It is about what your upload speed is. If you are not sure what your upload speed is, you can test it for free.
Google the words 'speed test' and you will get many free speed test websites. You will have to turn off Bittorrent and other internet programs to get good speed test results.
www.dslreports.com/stest
is one example

| I have comcast and I have noticed that the spped is tied to the time of day when most people are on. It's very fast most of the time and I can get dl speeds from 700 to 1.5 mbs. It's an easy 2x faster that my qwest dsl connection.

| I feel your pain on the u/l and d/l differences Dmorgan. I have Comcast here in the East Bay, and my d/l varies between 2 megs to 8 megs or so peak, with a whopping 256k (32 KBps) upload speed, and 10K of that is taken up by my voip phone service. I pay about $55 a month for my internet and basic cable service. Seems like I'm one of the slower u/l folks here. *sigh*.

Mine is kind of confusing. It falls between 256-384 kbps.
According to www.dslreports.com/stest, it says 317 kbps for the upload speed.
By the way, how do you convert Kbps to kB/s?
My max would probably be something close to 40 kB/s.

Kbps divided by 8 = kB
e.g. 384 / 8 = 48

It wasn't that long ago that I was only at 128 Kbps for upload speed. I was so excited when they upgraded me.
New rule: All ISP's have to match upload speed to download speed *DREAMING* 
Here is me next time they raise my rate and don't raise my upload speed

I have a 128 kBit (max 16 kB/s) upload speed, but in order to maximize upload efficiency and download capacity, I throttle my overall upload to 10 kB/s to allow for ACKs and NACKs.
You see, I usually only peak to 12 kB/s with BitTorrent due to the amount of traffic.

oh, man, i was just about to say that. i was dying with a 128kb upload speed for soooo long. it would take me 8hrs or more to finish someone who only needed a few kB for a seed. uploading a torrent was not even an option. i've since upgraded, and it's so much easier to seed people. it was worth the tremendous trouble i went through to upgrade.
