erm not sure i 100% understand what you're asking there;
Domestic ADSL and ADSL MAX [upto 8Mb] will upload at either roughly 40 or 80KB/s , usually 40 with todays tight arse ISPs
ADSL2+ can manage 120/240KB/s depending on how you choose to operate your line
Basic/shared hosting you'll get a share of whats available, which will be affected by time of day, whos supplying the service, how many people are surfing websites that are on that cluster... as you can imagine, prediction is nigh impossible,
Dedicated servers tend to come with allocated bandwidth. This means that you agree on sign up how much bandwidth you want. Usually rates start at 5/10Mb/s in each direction, but from here the skys the limit, going beyond 1000Mb/s should you need it, but be prepared for one hell of a bill.
Once you start reaching the dizzy heights of dedicated servers you may however notice that you still don't get the download rate that you would expect. This is in 95% of cases down to your domestic ISP, who due to being typical of the money grabbing capitolist pigs like to get as many people on as little bandwidth as possible.
read the small print of your contract and you'll read that your "xMb/s" is being shared with upto 50 other users. Therefore you'll notice at times [like anytime from about 10-11am to about 2am] that your connection will not behave as advertised. This isn't a reflection on the server you are downloading frmo but your ISP, their infrastructure and policies.
To name but a few ISPs to avoid include tiscali/talk talk, virgin, bt and o2.
Be There are one of the few larger ISPs still offering good terms to their customers, aside from that in the UK things are pretty screwed.
We come back to companies who are quite happy to sell and get cash in but bluntly refuse to invest in the nescessary infrastructure to support the extra connections. We call this oversubscription and its rife here atm.
