DSL speeds completely depend on the ISP, seeing very a-symmetrical speeds is very common on standard DSL networks. &nbsp;I know in Verizon's case (our LEC in my area) there is no DSL speed packages available above 768k upload....even though we can get 5-10Mbps download.<br />
<br />
Now, if your user is logging into an RDP session on a computer on the local office and it is from within the RDP session that he is running the applications that bandwidth should be more than adequate. &nbsp;Your best option if you are finding poor performance from any application run on the user's home pc would be to try and transition those applications so they are all ran through the RDP session instead. &nbsp;Then the bandwidth the application requires is all on your internal network, the only data transmitting to your employees connection would be the screen draws and what-not.<br />
<br />
If the RDP session is what is painful for the user, &nbsp;have them run some ping tests from their home connection to the RDP device on your office network. &nbsp;If they are reporting high ping times on a regular basis (over 100-200ms) then there is a good chance either their connection is not performing well, or either their connection or your connection at your office is becoming saturated or seeing some other performance issue.

Those numbers are almost exactly what we get from regular Qwest Business DSL, which is nominally rated for 7mbps down and 896 kbps up. &nbsp;Real-world throughput is always less than that. &nbsp;You can't get more than that without the ISP supporting it, esp. on DSL.

How about a second line or using sdsl.<br />
How important is the users ability to work quickly?<br />

Although the speed isnt TOO fast (its a &quot;usual&quot; 8mbit / 1mbit ADSL line) you can also check his PC for programs that using bandwidth. For example:<br />
<br />
- various programs maybe start to synchronize data automatically when are connected to enterprise network, reducing total speed<br />
<br />
- antivirus updates: perform them when connected to enterprise network and NOT through VPN<br />
<br />
- are you trying to upload data using windows file sharing?! Try a different way; its faster? make a copy using FTP protocol. Is that working faster?<br />
<br />
- Change MTU on DSL size. Is speed improved?<br />
<br />
- Any CRC errors on DSL interface?<br />
<br />
- Which is the type and the speed of the office line? Is leased line? DSL again?<br />
<br />
- Can you upgrade your DSL to a higher rate? Pay great attention to upload speed! Is very important.<br />

Remote User DSL Speed

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
