A few questions about internet bandewith if I may. Web services allows data
to be uploaded as well as downloaded. Why is upload speed substantailly
lower then dlownload speed? If a web service application is required to
push a lot of data what are the options for greater performance. I get
confused when I look up hosting services. They all seem oriented towards web
page hosting vice web service hosting.

Thanks,
Fred Herring

This really isn't a topic related to web serivces. It's more about how
non-commercial and low priced ISP accounts work. In a shared connection
scenario, many ISP's throttle upstream bandwidth for a variety of reasons
(consider that clicking on a URL is less intensive than downloading a web
page with text and images - and you can see why they split the load in this
way).

Most non-commercial ISP's forbid running web sites (and thus web services).
That aside, if you were to host a web service, your outbound data would be
throttled by the connection limits of the caller. Your ISP would also see
this as upstream data, and may cause further throttling. Not a pretty
picture.

But this isn't a web service issue per se.
