I have been struggling to upload files from my hotel room in Vancouver. I have been on the phone with tech support on four occassions and they constantly point me to Internet Frog to do speed tests which typically come out indicating better than 2Mbps download rates and roughly 115Kbps upload rates. That still doesn’t explain why I’ve never exceeded 4Kbps, and typically achieve only 1Kbps, upload rates — even at midnight when the tech support team claims I am the only person actively using the service.
Can you imagine it taking over an hour to upload a 6Mb file on a dial-up connection?
That’s why my favourite ISP when out of town is ‘linksys’…

You should shop around for better high speed internet providers then. This speed is very unacceptable!

Whoa, might as well use dial-up Internet over the “broadband” you’ve got going. Did you ever figure things out?
