Low Internet speed leads problem on uploading...

I am subscribing to 1MB basic internet package from broadband Streamyx but the uploading really lousy. 99% of the time during uploading, the speed just can't move!!

If refer back to Streamyx package, for a 1MB basic package, you should get an upload speed of 384kb/sec but do you really get the speed for what is written in the package? I am having trouble performing uploading. Even though a single jpg file for 200KB could take up to 10mins to upload.
This is truly a big problem.
