Im interested in knowing what other people are getting and with Who?, this is for my info, so try and keep it real, rather than posting up a mines bigger then yours type reply. :y
Im currently on BT at Home (up to 17mb tariff, get about 10 Download on average) and get a real crappy 0.8Mbs up, on average. Thinking about going for Fibre, poss 38Mbs tariff, which has an advertised up to 10Mbs up, but I know a few folk who are getting around 1 to 3 Mbs up so not big improvement there.
I tend do a lot of Cloud stuff and File Uploads work wise, and have access to Mobile Data as well, can do around 8Mbs Up just on 3+G or around 20Mbs Up on 4G but it eats my data allowance.

My Zen line gives 62down, impossible to get a sensible up, as all you buggers are constantly hammering it ;D. I get 15 when testing.
BT Business line is 62down, 17up, but up it very bursty.
FTTC products make cloud work how you would expect - that and multiple video streams if you have people using Netflix etc are the big advantages over ADSL products.

I used to have Fibre, but even staff had to pay a small fee. So I dropped down to standard broadband, as it's totally free for me.
I've not noticed the difference as I don't kane the internet like I used to. Sky box doing movie downloads is its biggest test, does it all fine.
Get 11mbs down, 0.67 up. Standard Sky BB.
-
I get 7.5 down and a poxy 0.5 up. That's with sky.
At busy times, it can drop to 4 down and the square root of fick all up.

Phone and broadband (No Limitations) costing £10.33 plus line rental and before discounts. :y
Normally about 7mb down, few issues at the moment since I took on the combined service but better than the 3b it dropped down to. :-\
Okla not the best reference guide to use as TB has often mentioned BT it's whats I have always used for comparing my own speed checks.

Tried testing the speed once, BT, and after half an hour it still had not come up with a reading. We are right on the end of a cable for our area as we live in a cul-de-sac

What are the speeds for the service you are paying for, as that looks borderline that Openreach wouldn't support it?

I was with virgin FTTH which gave me over 200 down but only 10 up which limited my VPN Speen considerably. I asked then to tweak the frequencies so that I got more up and less down but they refused and said I would need a business line at over 100 quid a month. I left about 6 months ago and told them the reason why. I could not have been the only one to complain as now they offer home broadband with up to 20mbps up.

That's the problem when they are chasing a headline speed. We the heavier use of cloud storage and services, and more people either working form home or running a business from home, its far better to have a more balanced up/down, as you point out.

I`m fairly sure that my upload speed was the same as this when I was on 100 mbps though not that important to me as I don`t do much uploading.

Virgin Media.. As much as people slag them of they've been very good for me...

Plusnet
8.32 down .06 up
I'm surprised that the up is as fast as that, it doesn't seem it. My problem is reliability, the connection just stops, frequently. Could be down to the fact that the cable dangles across the conservatory roof ::)
