Uncapping upload speed

I've seen a few forum posts stating that Plusnet can uncap the upload speed on request.
I'm currently syncing at nearly 9mbps down and .5mbps up. Is there any chance of a slightly faster upload speed?
Thanks

Quote from: Bob I've placed an order to have your upstream uncapped. It should complete at some point on Tuesday.
Can I get MY upload speed raised from 256kbps to the blisteringly fast 512kbps I download at?
That would at least help me uploading files to my website.

As your download speed is 576kbp/s we wouldn't be able to increase you upload speed.

=================================
For Telephone Number ******** on Exchange BARROCK
Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial test on your line indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a fixed line speed up to 1Mbps. However due to the length of your line the 1Mbps service may require an engineer visit who will, where possible, supply the broadband service.
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL Max broadband line speed of 1Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 250Kbps and 2Mbps.
The actual stable line speed supportable will be determined during the first 10 days of use. This speed may change over time, to ensure line stability is maintained.
If you decide to place an order, a further test will be performed to confirm if your line is suitable for the service you wish to purchase.
Thank you for your interest.
Please note that postcode and address check results are indicative only. Most accurate results can be obtained from a telephone number check.
Note: If you already have a Broadband service enabled on this line and you want to switch service providers, you will need to contact both your current provider and your new provider to get your service changed over new and existing service provider to have this service transferred.
Also provision of some services may not be allowed due to product withdrawal, please contact your service provider for further details.
==========================================
Interesting it says I should be able to get 1MBPS which is DOUBLE what I currently get.
It is about time those criminals at BT Wholesale upgraded all lines in the UK o a minimum standard before even thinking of promising 8MBPS+ to everyone else 😞
What's even more irksome is you lot charge me MORE for the priviledge of having a [Censored] line 😞

Have you had problems in the past where your line has been fixed at a lower speed because it kept failing at higher speeds?

You've been provided on the 512k static service most likely due to the length of your line - if you could post some router stats we could look at how likely any speed increases would be if we moved you to the ADSL Max service if you wish?
