I Have an 80mb download speed.
I Have an 8 Ping.
I have 3mb Upload speed.

Is it possible to ring up my isp and ask them too increase my upload speed for a bit more cost monthly. I know my area can have higher upload as a mate has 50mb upload. Have any of you ever rang up your internet provider for something like this?

You can see if they can offer a better package. But it will cost more.

Previously I had around 1mb down, and .75 at the most up. Now since we pay more a month for our internet I'm averaging around 26-28mbs down, and 8-10mbs up. So I'd say call them up and ask what packages they have, Hope this helps.

What he said. Chances are they will not do it for free.

Yes you can ask your company to increase you contract speed. Note that this will cost more a month, and it may not be possible to get equal downstream and upstream speed without a fiber connection coming into your house.
