Are you using a ISDN type line (digital signal) or ADSL type line (Broadband, Analogue signal)? If you are using ADSL, then it is set up to download much faster than it can upload as this is the usage pattern of a normal internet user. AOL does not recommend using ADSL for running servers because of this. ISDN is more suited to this because upload and download speeds are more or less the same and it is designed for business use, where web hosting etc might be used.
Out of interest, does anybody know roughly how much a leased line is in the UK? I heard rumours that the price would drop when ADSL came out to compete with it. If I can find a reasonable price, I would like to run my own servers too.
