I cry for you for choosing BT over a decent isp
576 is what your router reports to you, it isn't functioning at that speed in any way. Also you wont get 512 because of packet overheads, expect something about 476.

windows actually says that it is connected at 576.2 and upstream only 256.4

It will do. Windows is dumb, I believe it also shows 576.2 for single-line ISDN (actually 64K) 
I think
Definitely does for 256/128 ADSL

yeah, i was windering about that. Windows says that the modem is on an isdn channel in device manager! Mmm, strange, well if I dont like it, I can always change to a different one straight away! What good 2mbit adsl providers are out there? I cant get cable around where i live!

Yep, Windows shows 41.333 on a 56 k when its actually 4 to about 5 kb/s

my old 56k used to go 33.6k at the most. It originally went 44.5k though. Actually, BT came 3rd on the ADSLGuide(Clicky)! Nildram got 2nd and Eclipse got first! I got 1 ping in Return To Castle Wolfenstein MP and 4 on CS! Pretty nice eh! And yeah, just bing connected to the net takes up most of your accounts bandwidth! Last month (before i switched to ADSL) I used up so much time on my 56k that they threatened to cut me off if I done it again!!! They said other users had been getting really slow (I mean like 14k) connections cos of my "extreme" internet usage!!! HA!

Yeah, well done jobabob. Unless you were being sarcastic
You're a pretty confusin' guy
Maybe you were just up early.
KB/s = kilobytes
Note capitalisation. People don't bother usually, that's why other people get confused.
Point is that it's running at 29 kilobits - around 3.5K/s downstream probably. Sounds like my old 56K

Meh..
There are advantages to a modem that goes 4 k i l o b y t e s p e r s e c o n d
no modern virus would manage to upload itself in time
lol

yeah, ur more likely to get a virus on b/band cos it would download itself quicker! MSBLAST is actually a worm so it randomly selects an ip and attacks it!
