    What's with the low upload compared to the download ?

    The line has a fixed number of frequency bands available, which have to be divided between upload and download. Because the average user downloads far more than they upload (uploads typically being page requests and ack packets), the division is made so that more bands are put towards download. In theory the division could be anywhere and the relative speeds would reflect where the division is, meaning if it was in the middle you'd get equal downstream and upstream, but both would be lower than downstream currently is.

    its OK I guess, remains to be see if speeds like that are consistent and reflected in real world performance.

    Can someone explain why the upload speeds are always so terrible? Is it just because people upload less than they download?

    upload is deliberately sacrificed to give higher maximum download speeds, because the average user downloads far more than they upload.
