Remove upload cap?

I have recently been experiencing problems with my internet connection. I thought these were wifi related and so I have bought a new router which is now plugged into the master socket but this has not resolved all the problems.
A particular issue has been participating in conferences using Teams.
I notice that my upstream connection is capped at 1040. Do you think removing the cap would help? If so how do I get this done?
My router is reporting the following:
Upstream | Downstream | |
---|---|---|
Current Rate (kbps) | 1040 | 14329 |
Max Rate (kbps) | 1040 | 17628 |
SNR Margin (dB) | 5.6 | 5.9 |
Line Attenuation (dB) | 12.6 | 20 |
Errors (pkts) | 21 | 504 |

@GlynArmstrong If you are on ADSL - as you posted in the ADSL board, I assume you are - you are at max upload anyway.

It isnt, thats the maximum your line is capable of.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Yes I am on ADSL2+ which I thought supported higher values.
If this is not possible then do you have any advice on how I can squeeze more out of the line?
I do not have the option of Plusnet Fibre as my cabinet does not support it (despite living in a city & the exchange being enabled) so my only alternative would be to move to Virgin.

Have you thought of using the mobile network? It's not much more expensive if you shop aroundd. You can use a MiFi unit and set it up to work just like your current broadband service.
