"Buy a business-grade service like a T1" instead of ADSL perhaps?
From tfa (emphasis mine): "in the same time [2 hours] the **ADSL** had sent 4% of the [4GB memory stick] data."
4% of 4 gigs in 2 hours puts their ADSL _upload_speed_ in the ballpark of: 4,000,000,000 bytes * 0.04 * 8 bits per byte / 2 hours / 60 minutes per hour / 60 seconds per minute ~= 180,000 bits per second 180kbps is more or less middle-of-the-road for ADSL.
