If you say yours is at 250 KBits now, that's rougly 30KBytes. In other words, you download at 30 kilobytes per second, which is slow as HELL for DSL.
My only assumption is that you have bits and bytes backwards. It would make perfect sense if you're talking about bytes, and your problem could be diagnosed most likely. 600 KBYTES is a pretty average DSL speed if not above average, but 600 KBITS is an insanely below average speed. It's possible to get two linked 56k modems to download at 600 KBITS.
Like I said before, post what you got in KBITS and KBYTES, then we can at least see what the problem is.

You sir, are the confused one
56k referes to 56kilobits per second. Line speeds are ALWAYS measured in bits per second.
56k connections are usualy only around 48kpbs
600kpbs / 48 kbps (an avarage 56k connection) = 12.5
Two linke 56k modems will only provide 96kpbs speed, most likely
SBC's standard DSL is 384 to 1536kbps depending on line quality.
600kpbs is an avargae DSL speed. 600KB/sec is VERY fast. about 5mbps
