Upload Speed 443kbps???

Had my connection activated early on the 29/11/11 although it was originally supposed to go live on the 1/12/11 and no problems, my 10 day training period is now over but as my stats show bellow my upload speed is a poor 443kbps?
Should it be this low? Can it be increased i couldn't find info on the site other than a download speed of up to 20mb.
DownStream Connection Speed 6784 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 443 kbps

Presumably you are on ADSL2 or 2+?
Your upload is probably capped at 448Kbps. You can request that it is uncapped if you want.

Re: Upload Speed 443kbps???

Hello Mr T, I have no idea what i'm on i only ever cable internet before so new to ADSL. On cable i had a 3MB upload lol i just gathered the stats would change over the first 10 days so just assumed it would increase on it's own eventually.  Undecided
If it is capped how to i uncap it? i can't find any settings?

ADSL upstream speeds are a never going to be anything like cable. ADSL have a maximum of 448 unless you pay extra and ADSL2+ a maximum up to 1.2mbps but is normally supplied capped which you will have to request to be removed. One warning it's up to 1.2mbps and normally you will see 800 to 960kbps.

Your upstream speed will be uncapped free of charge if you do go ahead and raise a ticket.

No, that's not what we're saying.

If we increase your upload speed, it will impact on your available download speed.

I think that could have been worded slightly better to say " If we increase your upload speed, it will have a slight impact on your available download speed, but not to a great degree. If this is to your detriment we can then reverse the change"

Re: Upload Speed 443kbps???

Hi Adam,
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my thread, i currently have 6mb download so my understanding is if i or PN increase my Upload my Download will decrease but only slightly with any luck? I don't mind if it dropped to say 5mb but if it dropped to something like 512k i would rather leave it as it is lol
Can i get an increase in my upload and if problems creep up have it put back to it's default?
Thanks
Paul

Yes, I've not seen a single case where it's drastically reduced the downstream.
I've placed order 1-10202883056 which is due to complete tomorrow. Make sure you give me a nudge if there's any problems.

Re: Upload Speed 443kbps???

Thank you Adam i can confirm my upload speed has increased and there appears to be no issue with my connection. My upload speed has increased to over 900kbps which is a lot better than the 300+ i was getting previously.
Thank you for your help.  Smiley
