??? ADSL is full duplex.  up channel does not rob/share bandwidth 
from down channel. You should be able to get 128 up while getting 512 
down, or whatever your signalling rates are.

Paradyne MVL does share 768 kbits/sec between the two channels but 
that is afaik unique to MVL, which isn't typical xDSL.
