   I assume that your home ADSL upload speed is only 256K? If so, you have   
   a VPN working over a link which is 256k home to office and 384K office   
   to home. With tunnel overheads, the speed will be less than this. Slow   
   if you are used to 3 Meg.   
      
   Best to check that you don't have a packet fragmentation problem making   
   it extra slow, so check MTU of devices across the path.
