[GRLUG] An ISP question

[Bob Kline]

I have the Comcast 8M / 800K  package.
Independent of the time of day,  I get
something like 6Mbps down from some
sites,  and typically 640Kbps up to my
web hosting site,  using FTP.

Now,  if I use two or more FTP jobs to
transfer data to/from my web hosting site
I invariably get the full 8M / 800K.    I

'm just curious why this would be. I'm
temped to say it's not Comcast,  since
I do get the full rates under certain
circumstances.  Why my web hosting
site would limit a single stream to 640Kbps
up, if it is,  I have no idea - I will contact them
and ask.

In the mean time,  any thoughts here, or
similar experiences?
