Very slow upload speed - or am I expecting too much?

I have no idea whether my upload speed (around 30kbytes/sec transferring a dropbox file) is acceptable or rubbish, seems pretty slow to me! Here is the data from my router, speedtest etc:
Router data:

Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [MB/MB]: 3.35 / 26.11
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.4 / 0.0
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 17.0 / 34.0
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 29.9 / 6.0

Your upload is currently capped at 448kbps. You need to ask for it to be uncapped.

Hi cpcjones,
I agree with jelv that your upload speed is capped, as I am in an identical situation, having move to Plusnet Broadband Unlimited last Monday.
I have raised a ticket to get the upload cap removed (76502007). However, that was 80+ hours ago and the ticket has not been responded to as yet. You may get a better response time to any ticket you raise after the weekend.

Raise the ticket straight away - there's no point in delaying.

@cpcjones, your order's been placed and should complete tomorrow.
@burrowsp, I believe Adam's picked up one of your other posts on this issue and addressed it already.

Many thanks Matt. Adam has indeed picked this up and it's expected to be implemented tomorrow.
