When I had 56k dialup the practical download speed was 5k/sec. Now I have 250k DSL and the practical download speed is 26k/sec.

Dialup faster than satellite?
I just signed up for satellite internet and it is slower than my old dialup access. Sure, download speed is faster…for downloading files. But, upload speed on the satellite is horrible! Regular web surfing is much slower than dialup.
I did a speed test on both connections. Look at the results and tell me if that is typical for dialup upload speeds to be so much faster. Should I complain to the satellite company after seeing the results below?
Satellite Average Speeds:
Upload: 70-100
Download: 1200-1500
Dialup Average Speeds:
Upload: 180-190
Download: 40-50

Any way to speed up satellite connection?
I just had a new satellite internet service put in, since it’s all I can get. Although speedtest.net reveals that I have a download speed around 1900, general browsing is slow. I can downoad a file very quickly. But just regular surfing is actually slower than dialup. Any tips to speed things up?
