King Edshel, thanks for taking the time to write the informative response to my inquiry.

To respond to several other's questions about my internet usage:

General Internet Surfing
Banking and bill paying
Shopping
Checking out Qatarliving
Google Maps
Uploading digital photographs to Kodak for printing and sharing.
Sending and receiving email, sometimes with large attachments.
Downloading various software upgrades
Downloading Linux Distro ISO's from time to time
Connecting from home to the work computer systems via VPN and Citrix.
I would run an ftp server if the IP address was static, but I believe that it will change often. Correct me if this is wrong.

So my usage would beg the question: Is the upload speed different for each Qtel choice?
