I don't think it matters does it?  My ADSL maximum upload speed is about 45 
KB/sec too, but if I let BT use all that then other web browsing etc grinds 
to a halt.  So I have the global upload rate limited to 32 KB/sec in my BT 
client, and downloads still go at 600+ KB/sec if it's a popular file.
