[Cialug] Home internet speed

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

I currently have DSL at 3 Mpbs down, 892 kbps up. I'd like higher upload 
speed, but my DSL provider can't do it. I live just a couple blocks from 
the phone switching office on 42nd Street, so distance shouldn't be a 
problem. But since my ISP says they can't increase my upload speed (they 
*can* increase my download speed though), then i'm guessing it is a 
problem with DSL technology.

Why can't DSL upload speeds go faster? Are there any other internet 
services that can provide a static, routable IP and achieve faster 
upload speeds?
