Summary: Upload speeds for our Residential & Business products
We think that our customers should know exactly what to expect from our broadband products - most ISPs restrict speeds in some way, but very few will share the details with their customers.
Here we'll show you the upload speeds we aim for on our Residential and Business broadband products. If you're looking for download speed information, see our Broadband Download Speeds guide.
To find out more about why we manage traffic, see our Traffic Prioritisation Guide.

Please be aware that:
- The speeds shown here don't represent your overall line speed
- Activities not listed have no specific restrictions for that product and are prioritised on our network at all times
- Online gaming needs low latency which is why we prioritise gaming traffic
- Few games need more than 2Mb of bandwidth, we address the ones that do individually
- Line speed means that you'll get the fastest speed possible at the time, subject to Traffic Priority
- Applications not using their standard ports may be classed as Other traffic meaning a lower priority may apply

7. Speed Problems
We can't guarantee that you'll always see these speeds, but if your line and the network are running properly then it's rare to see much lower - your broadband speed can be affected by a number of things. Read more about them here.
