Anyone else find Dropbox upload slow?

[ajf]

As title really.
Using Virgin 50mb so have 5mb uploadmwhich is fine on flickr etc.
Trying to upload a load of stuff to Dropbox and it is maxing at 500kb/sec.
Have set upload bandwidth to unlimited.

Is this normal?
If so any other cloud services that are faster?

Thanks
Andrew

Good point, although I though the upload was reading in kilobits too, but I may be wrong.
I get confused which kb Kb etc to use for bits and bytes so I may have written that bit wrong. lol

I'll check later and see what it was uploading in.

edit, easier way, if It IS running at 500kilobytes upload, how long do you reckon for 25 gigabytes to upload?!
