This is the way ADSL is sold to the consumer, but ADSL simply means that the

upload and download bandwidths don't have to be equal - hence "asymmetric".

Those who have hacked their routers on BT's latest trial, can configure them

to

allow more upload than download, in which case it would be _ideal_ for a web

server - aside from the IP address problem :)
