Download speed good, but Upload Speed rubbish!

Hi there,
I have not had any problems with download speed since joining plusnet, but my upload speed is rubbish! I have checked my IP profile and it says maximum of 0.45 Mb/S. I'm sure I was getting a lot more than that when I was with Sky. Is this normal? Can it be changed?
Thanks in advance.
John

im not a plusnet member of staff but i almost gurantee that when a member of staff sees this post they will do whats called uncappping your upload speed. This tends to help in all situations and it takes about a day to go through so hopefully everything will be ok tommorow providing your upload speed is capped today by a plusnet member of staff

Cheers Reece,
I thought things had been a little sluggish since I had come over. It just seemed to take so long to upload my photos!
Strange that you have to request for it to be uncapped though!!!!
Thanks once again.

yeah if you were to scroll through the forums you will see lots of topics called 'uncap my upload speed' so hopefully anytime now someone will come through and notice you need your upload speed  uncapped then tommorow you should notice a significant difference.I should get a job at plusnet haha

Just think yourself lucky Reece, fibre is but a dream up where I live. BT says it's planned but no firm date. I reckon 18 months at least.

i know hopefully when i move in 6 months time the new property will have fibre. Ive been so used to fibre when i was living wiith my parents but now im 18 ive got my own place and now living without fibre. Why did i move?
