Re: Upload Speed > Locked ?

I'm surprised your download is "only" 200Kb/sec. DSL is quite often faster than that on the download. 384Kb/sec. upload is about average for DSL. I've seen packages higher at up to 768Kb/sec., but you'll usually pay through the nose for that speed.

Of course you have no control over what they offer though, so unfortunately you have to take what they have. Your upload rate looks ok unless BellSouth claims you should be getting more. I'd ask about the download rate though. It looks a bit low for DSL. Do like the others said and try an online speed test, but the best way to know is to call BellSouth and ask them what your particular package is supposed to be. Keep in mind though, that you won't get exactly what they claim. At bewst you'll get slighlty less due to overhead "built in" to the system.
