Speed asymmetry

It seems that UP speeds are always slower than DOWN speeds (In my case 11 Mbps DOWN and 0.4 Mbps UP) Why ?

That's the way ADSL has been designed. The A in ADSL stands for asymmetric. The average consumer is far more likely to be downloading stuff than uploading it to a remote server so the bandwidth available has been split to favour the download.

Consider that your total bandwidth available is approximately the sum of your download speed plus your upload speed. Now halve that and you'll see that a symmetrical connection would take much longer to download things.

OK Thank you for that
