I think it is sdsl. Symmetric DSL.
It sounds like you get 1M in both directions. So you had a web site hosted at the site it could feed 1M out.
If you surf the web and do not host games or run servers then ADSL is better. A is for asymmetric, down and up are different. The download speed matters more for this type of use.

I means you get 1 Megabit upload and 1 Megabit download speeds. Yes 7 meg is about 7 times as fast.

Usually it refers to download speed / upload speed. For example, if you see a connection described as 768K/128K (a lower-speed DSL connection), it means that your download speed is 768 kilobits per second and your upload is 128.
1024K/1024K means that the upload and download speeds are both 1024K, or 1 megabit per second. And yes, 7 megs would be faster. A LOT faster!

it would be faster if you had 7 megs down and 1 meg up as your download speed would be faster.
1024k/1024k means it is synchronous so it you would be getting 1 meg up and down from what i am interpreting from it.

Of course 7Mb is faster than 1Mb but what 1024k/1024k means is 1Mb download and 1Mb upload.
