BT's wholesale ADSL has a 256Kbit/s upload speed restriction. Most ISPs
are merely resellers of this (I think it's called IPStream).

If you want anything faster, I think your only options will be a
'business' service, or to see if anybody has unbundled your local
exchange. Last I checked, even the cable companies seemed to be only
256Kbit/s up.

Search for your exchange here, to see lots of interesting information:
