Ken, as far as I can see with Telstra Bigpond Wireless:-
http://go.bigpond.com/wireless/
you cannot get to choose download/upload speed - you get whatever you can get wherever you are. The only choice is monthly download limit. (Unless we get that "Ultimate" option for, ahem, some $2,400 over 24 mths! Maybe that is faster??)
Didn't we test my Bigpond wireless last time I was at the club site? If so, I think that is the best we would get at camp for a regular Bigpond device.
I asked the Telstra Website:-
=================================== =======
The following broadband option(s) may be available for:

Of course, they don't think we are interested in upload speeds, only download!
