If you visit
http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_search and type in your postcode, look for "BT Wholesale information" and have a look if "21CN WBC status:" is ticked or not ticked.
If it is not ticked then you are on 20cn. You can ask Plusnet if you can be provisioned on to ADSL max premium if you wanted too. ADSL max premium gives you faster upload speed (rather than upto 448kbps, it will increase upto 832kbps). ADSL max premium also gives you a higher priority on the BT Wholesale network. This cost an extra £7.83 for more information
http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/products/max_premium.shtmlIf you are on 21cn, you can ask Plunet to uncap your upload speed. When your upload speed in uncapped the speed can go upto 1.3mbps however in your case with a 1.4mb download speed it will probably be around 0.5/0.6mbps. To get your upload speed uncapped then raise a ticket or as mentioned above start a new topic in the broadband and router section
What is your ping?
Ping is very important for gamers. High ping can cause poor gaming or “lag”. To make sure you have the best ping you can possible get, make sure your router/ modem is in the master telephone socket or the test socket. In some cases you can get a better connection if your router is connected to your test socket. An Ethernet cable is better connection than the wireless as the ping will increase the further distance you are from the router.
Interleaving can cause very high pings. Interleaving usually placed on poor lines as it is an error correction facility. However interleaving courses delay as it checks the information. The ‘Delay’ of the Interleaving is simply a measurement of the size of the interleaving buffers…. The size is measured in Milli-Seconds (ms). If interleaving is placed on your line then you can ask Plusnet to remove this.
