I've recently move back into the Stone Age 'Broadband Wise' Only Copper available, serving me 2-6meg down and only 0.35meg upload!! Not enough for today's modern online life!

Swindon is getting Full Fibre (Fibrehop and TalkTalk) but it's not available in my area just yet! So...

I've moved over to BT's 4G-Home Broadband 30meg down (no upload guarantee)... Damn expensive I know, but it's all I can get!!

I've had it a week, and I'm getting 18-24meg download, but my upload is still 0.3-0.7meg! I've tested different cables, and even tried WiFi (5 and 2.4ghz) looked in the Router settings etc... but I can't find anything to help! and my google-foo is letting me down!

My PC is (not blistering) AMD 3400G, 32Gb PC3000/DDR4, 512Gb NvME, Running Windows 11 (but is was slow running Windows 10, so I don't think it's this!!)

My old Lenovo Yoga (Win10) gets - 21-24meg down, 6-8meg up - 5Ghz wifi
My Motorola OneVision (Android 11) gets - 25-29meg down, 6-15meg up - 5ghz wifi
My Wifes Nokia 2.4 (Android 11) gets - 22-27meg down, 6-10meg up - 2.4ghz wifi

So I know it's not the Router/Broadband! It's got to be my PC, I've run the Troubleshooters, and even reset the Network!

I do have PIA's VPN on my pc, but even turning that off did nothing!!

I need some help!! is there any settings I may have missed?? anything I can do to get my PC to upload at a decent rate!!?? I'm at a total loss! but I need to be able to work from home occasionally, and 0.7meg upload is not fast enough by a long shot!!

Please can you guys help!?!?

Thanks in advance!!
 
Even pausing OneDrive it still only gives me 0.7meg up! And there's nothing sucking on my CPU it's bumbling along at 2-4% usage!

I'm debating just flattening it and rebuilding... With Windows 10 (as 11 still has other problems) and just hoping that solves the issue.
