What would be a good upload figure?
What would be a good download figure?

My god , you UK wallahs don't know you are born. You have mega fast broadband and very cheap too.
Revel in it. If you were in rural Spain Opti and not rural England you would be gratefuiul for what you have at twice the price. Wouldn't be as sunny of course- you can't have everything. :-\ :-\

What would be a good download figure?
adsl2 max down is approx 20Mb, max up is 1Mb
Fttc max down either 38 or 76 and max up 2, 10 or 19 depending what you paid for
Virgin, depends on service and neighbours

So is an upload of 0.35 reasonable?

Depends hw far from exchange. If a fair way, and you're on ADSL or adsl2, yeah, reasonable

Depends on what you want to do with it really.
If I want to access my brothers ROKU box on my TV here, it would be a complete waste of time as it would be unwatchable.
If I wanted to send an e-mail or two though, no problem.

Does'nt seem that long ago I was paying BT £120 a qtr for ISDN2 at home which gave me 64 + 64Kbs, the first channel was free if you dialed a 0800 number but if you wanted the Full Monty of 128kbs you would end up paying 8p per min on top for a 0800. still better than the 56K dial up which would deliver 14.4kbs if you were lucky in my street.
Also remember being in a Hotel in Brum, and having to use my Ericsson Mobile on Data (GSM) trying to upload a update from London for the next morning, 5 floppies worth at 1.4Mb each took just over 3 hours. >:(

One of our guys living in Stockholm has 250Mb down, 250Mb up. It's only that "slow" because (in his words) he thought the 1000Mb down, 1000Mb up service was a little too expensive.. but one of our other Swedish colleagues does have the symmetric Gb connection.
Hate them. Hate them I do.

Quit your complaining... Still on copper wire around here. ;D :-X
57ping - 1.8mbps Download - 0.37mbps upload
Primarily why I have to hot spot my phone to download anything in any kind of reasonable time scale...
-
Deepest depths of Cornwall and achieving 35 megs down and 10 megs up which ain't bad for down ere :y
-
down load 37 upload 9 not to bad :)
Fixed line FTTC? Sounds close to a 38/10 service :y

If, up to 2yrs ago (so in its busiest period), I could run OOF behind a 2m down, 276k up line, along with all my other internet needs, I'm sure you could optimise your internet usage better ;)

Not when downloading stuff in the Gigabytes, As you said browsing the net normaly is fine on this connection it's just not good for demanding tasks :y

Our internet conne tion is dropping out quite a bit recently, probably Mr Sky trying to tell me that I need to upgrade to something faster (more expensive). I tried to ring earlier but, as they were experiencing an unusually busy time (yeah.....fick off. Try employing more people) I hung up after ten minutes.

Racking my brains trying to think of something legal to download that is gigabytes in size ;)
Nothing has really got larger since then. Actually, quite the opposite :)
I can't talk, though, I've got a problem here (that I don't fully understand) that means I'm downloading between 6 and 9Gb a day on the Zen line when we're not even here :o. No idea what the BT line is doing, as I don't get RADIUS stats for that, but suspect its similar, as I have a feeling I have a weird routing problem between the 2 lines :-[

Suppose the term (streaming) is what i should have used, Watching Netflix/Amazon Prime/YouTube etc... That is if you want to watch in decent HD quality is simply impossible on slow net such as mine on BT...
I do however download/upload large files now and again whether they are updates for various devices, upload pictures / videos to the "Cloud" or anything else etc...
But thankfully i can use my phone as a hot spot reaching near 20mbps download - 3/5mbps upload, Have been for years without issue. :y

OS X 10.10, ~6Gb download (which I did four times yesterday as the corporate rowlocks on the laptop is breaking the upgrade for some reason)

Yeah, a few years ago, the usual excuse for raping the broadband lines was "downloading Linux distros".
But everyone knows that reality is p2p and nntp ;D
Only quite recently has legit video streaming traffic outnumbered copyright-breaking traffic.
