improing m upload speed?

hello everyone.
i'd like to have a better upload speed, i heard that our upload speeds were capped around 0.44, so i just added the pro add on for gaming thinking it would improve my upload but it is still capped at 0.44 when i did the speed test.
is there another way to get this uncapped.
Help would be appriciated.

Re: improing m upload speed?

It is likely that you are on 20CN and as such can't have the speed uncapped
This will need a member of staff to confirm and, if this is the case, initiate the move to 21CN
If you are already on 21CN then the upload just needs uncapping

Re: improing m upload speed?

21CN is BT's newer network (21st Century Network) - it has more capacity and supports newer services like fibre. 20CN is BT's older network.
I believe you're on ADSL Max from your router stats (G.992.1) which I think means you might not have been moved across to 21CN.
Have you also looked at if fibre is available in your area?

Re: improing m upload speed?

Upgrading as in the install will happen tomorrow or will you order tomorrow?
I am not entirely sure how much of an improvement you will see in your upload speed on your ADSL - because you obviously live a fair distance from your exchange.
Is Twitch like Youtube? You shouldn't have any problems with that with your ADSL connection. I don't think uncapping your upload (if you're moved to 21CN) will make any difference. On noisy lines (like yours), uncapping the upload can be counter-productive and cause instability on the line.
