I think ADSL is full-duplex, but if you saturate the uplink the large queue on 
your ADSL modem gives you insane latencies (~10sec on my 1.5M/126K) which 
leads to terrible performance.  Supposedly this can be fixed if you set up 
proper outbound packet-filtering on your host, and you should be able to run 
both at full-speed less overhead, but I haven't tried yet.
