as far as im aware, theres not a great need for high speed upload, unless your hosting a website, or game server or something like that, but thats breaking the rules of the contract, so all a high upload speed would be good for is large file transfers and torrents.

large file transfers could be spead up yes, but as for torrents, most of the time there is no harm it taking longer to upload to get a positive transfer ratio, since with nearly all popular torrents you can max your downlaod speed even with slow upload.

i run a server indeed, its hosted elsewhere but it takes me forever to upload my stuff to it.

For example videos of cars can be 4gb large in high def, which takes me about 2 days.

Ok so i cheat and go to uni and upload it there and it takes an hour, but still, i am sick of 30kb/s upload at home!
