That's not true though - they just haven't increased them for the new tiers yet, whereas they have for the downstream.

L 30 is a lower tier than XL 30 was, so has a lower upstream and it also costs less.

XL60 has the same 3Mbit upstream that XL30 does

If you are comparing what you are on now to the tiers available last year, you've actually gone to L and what was 10Mbit.

Due to a quirk in the way the tiers changes work in areas that haven't yet had the mass downstream uplifts, if you drop down a single tier from XXL to XL your downstream speed actually goes up from 50Mbit to 60Mbit, but your upstream goes to 3Mbit - which matches what XL30 has
