Hi,

Your DSL line will have a limit on its upload speed. Regardless of what
configuration you use behind the router, or even without one, the maximum
upload bandwidth cannot exceed the limit set by your ISP. Be aware too that
upload speed is often considerably slower than the download speed you pay
for, it is not unusual for a subscriber to have a 768K download speed
limited to a 128K upload capacity. Their advertising focuses on the download
speed, not the upload. Check with your ISP for the bandwidth restrictions.
