You probably can't change the upload speed.  That's usually determined
by your DSL carrier.  ADSL is simply that, asymmetrical DSL--meaning
that the upload and download speeds can (and most likely will) be
different.

Why do you think DSL companies have "business class" DSL?  So they can
charge more for higher-speed uplinks.  Ditto for cable.  Yeah, you may
get a fixed IP, too, but it's primarily the upload speed you're paying
for.
