Upload is important and the reason this function was never available on TiVo which could only upload at 1Mb.
Upload and download speeds within your home network are normally symmetrical. It's only once you get out on to the internet does upload become a different thing to download.

Uploads were an issue on the current TiVo because it wasn't required to be connected to your home network, so if Virgin Media had done anything with recordings, they would have had to go over the built in modem.

As mentioned on here, the V6 connects to your Hub, so it won't use the broadband upload speeds if it doesn't need to, but what's available in your home network.
