How are you measuring your upload speeds?

Try a different server. I find the London upload test doesn't always report what I can actually get, but other servers do.

Upload speeds are a bit of a joke, i don't see why VM restrict them because it should be a lot larger via the backhaul.

The max i believe they restrict it to is 2.6mb, which is prob to match and beat annex-m capability from O2/BE, however when BT infinity increases in availability VM may have to look at this.

At present the 50Mb upload speed is up to 1.75Mb but they are trialling 5Mb and 10Mb but with no rollout at present.

1.75Mbit at the moment - check the blog link in my signature for more information on the issues.

Its sold as 1.5Mb but VM set it at 1.75 to allow for overheads, as the downstream is set to 53Mb to allow for overheads
