Maybe thats all the upload that is available on your connection. Who is the ISP?

No point comparing unless you know the max upoad you normally get. Try:

I think your expecting 4MB upload and download? 4MB will be your downstream and roughly 448k (about 40kb) will be you upstream.

By the mentioning of Motorola, I'm guessing you actually mean cable modem meaning you're on NTL or Telewest. Your upstream is about right - it should be a little quicker but not significantly so. There's no problem.

Residential ADSL/cable services do not provide the same speed up as they do down.
