This in turn doesnt allow me to get a lowest real draw ping possible, and clan mates from NL etc get a better ping than me to uk game servers such as Jolt.co.uk.
Is it possible to decrease the download from 300 in order so I can have an upload of at least 128k, as this is most efficient for me ?
Regards.

Hrm, a blokey I know on the 300k gets superb pings to jolt on SoF2 (Q3 engine) sub-10ms, and bandwidth should be irrelevant to how quickly each datagram gets there.
Recheck them settings, upload speed of 64kbit is MORE THAN satisfactory for Q3, the game was produced when narrowband was still 'the norm' and even with 256k upstream I find the game only uses 24kbit of upstream most of the time.
