Re: upload
You're in a similar position to me using it for VPN and upload speed is very important. I moved away from Virgin to BT and got theoretically slower internet at 73Mb Down and 18Mb Up. But the up speed makes up for the lower down speed. The best thing is BT actually provide the speed they say you will get and don't do throttling like Virgin.
It's amazing how things have changed, BT used to be the worst for actual speed and Virgin Media (NTL) the best. It's easy to advertise and sell faster speeds, but actually providing those speeds seems to be something that is very rare.
If I had shares in Virgin Media I'd be selling them. They had the advantage in bandwidth to the door, but didn't make the most of it. Now BT is almost caught up and will soon overtake with their FTTP in the next 10 years, at which point Virgin Media loses its relevance.
