Fast upload without T1

Steve,

Unfortunately without trying to sound like a smart ass, you just have to pay for it and even then there is no guarantee you get the whole pipe or the piece of the pipe you are paying for. Most of your Cable or DSL providers limit your speed at their end just like they limit your speed on the dowload. Your speed will depend on many factors but the main one that is the most important is the broadband provider. If you dont' mind me asking who is your provider and where do you live. The closer you are to one of the nodes be it DSL or cable the better more reliable and faster your conncection will be however with Cable it will depend on many users are hitting that same node in your area. From a text book theory type point the more users you have, in a cable environment, the slower it will be which is true to a point however you will have to have a tremendous load in your area for it to slow to a crawl. There are some things you can do to speed up connection but it is really going to be on the ISP's end to let you have the whole hog.

hope this helps..

take care.

SteveO that is correct it can be changed but not by you or anyone else, well let me rephrase...Without hacking into your ISPs setup it can only be changed by those guys. I just moved from Florida to B'ham Alabama and I feel like I am being raped because in Florida I had a 6mb pipelne download and 780 upload with a static IPfor 35 dollars a month and here I am only getting 3.5mb on download and and 480 upload with static IP for 99 bucks a month...talking about raking someone across the coals but unfortunately Cableone has me in a bind in that they are pretty much the only show in town. DSL is out there but not in my area. My neighbor who lives down 1 block and over on the other side of the road has DSL access but not CABLE. Basically it is all a racket. I hope you are not paying too much for what you have. The only reason I have the static IP is because I run an offsite type datastorage for business's in this area if not for that I would do away with it for the cheaper option. If I could reach out there and throttle up my speeds I would do it yesterday.

Well I upload fast with ZipDeploy from http://ftp-unzip.com/ZipDeploy/

If I may add to the last post, yes, ADSL is often the most cost efficient way to get uplink Internet access capacity, on the basis of monthly cost / bandwidth delivered. Cable modems can also be pretty effective in terms of cost/bandwidth delivered. If a single ADSL or cable line does not provide the required speed, you can combine many of them together to create a faster connection. If you search on the term "Broadband Bonding" you will find more information.

In some places and applications, people are also combining 3G cellular data services to get pretty decent upload speeds, but this is intended for businesses and other mission critical applications, as most individuals cant afford to buy multiple subscriptions.

There are some ISPs who have begun to offer services based on this type of approach, which do provide an alternative to T1 for obtaining faster uplink speeds. For example, see
