No problem upload speeds are not affected by distance issues only the download.
That is simply not true. I tried to get 256k up a while back, and the CSR's on two different occasions said its not possible because I was not within 9000 feet of the CO. Your upload is just as susceptible to line degradation as the download.
The reason you could not get the 256 upload is not an issue with the line capability of the upstream bandwidth it was an account issue. 256k upload is only available on Deluxe DSL packages that require the ability to get a minimum of 768 download speeds. SBC has chosen to set a distance limit in order to recieve the Deluxe PKG. That is the reason they said you could not get the 256K upload.
