Upstream: 82kbps

I expect the problem lies within the upstream?
There is no real problem with your upstream, 82kbps is reasonable depending on other circumstances, and what site you tested it on. Your downstream seems a bit slow, but again, that could be the site you used. Try this downstram speed test.

Remember that if you are pulling a file from someone else, you are using their upstream, and anyone pulling a file from you is using your upstream speed.
