I mean I believe I have pretty good download speed, I know it's not super fast. But why is the upload speed terrible? I mean I've seen people in America with like 30+ upload speeds, I've never gotten past 6 even using a LAN Cable? Could someone please explain

It all depends on your package that you have with your ISP and your location.

The package I have for my house is 150/50.

your with virgin media, they are know of there fast download speeds and slow upload speeds

however if you go with BT infinity/ TalkTalk fibre etc you may getter faster upload up to 15 or 20 i believe but thats depends on how far away you from the cabinet. For me i am quite far away but i am happy with my speeds.
