Upload anywhere between 12-16Mb.
Now after complaining to BT last week about another issue i happen to mention the speeds ect im getting only to be told that if my speeds are between 50-68Mb they consider this good and no issue. After a lengthy discussion where i pointed out the this was a very wide window and wasn't happy only to be told that that is in the contract and they will not and DO budge on this.
So Virginmedia customers would put up with this, not they wouldn't

I think the cabinet might be close when activated so I'm hoping for top speeds but obv won't know, I think for the time being im gonna go with virgin for the next 18months and hopefully in that time STM is relaxed on upload as even at 12mb still more than enough, it's when it drops after an hour at weekends and evenings but we will see what both are offering in 18months!
