What is a good upload speed?

Just like download speed, a good upload speed depends on how you use the internet.

For most households on standard broadband (FTTC), upload speeds are frustratingly slow– often around 10Mbps. That means:

Uploading a 1GB video? On standard broadband, it could take over 14 minutes – and slow everything else down while it’s happening.


💻 Video calls? Choppy and pixelated if your upload speed can’t keep up.
🎮 Gaming? Lag and disconnects when your connection struggles to send data fast enough.
