clubs:   | That's not too awfully bad - it looks like you're on a single T1-fed tower. I wouldn't expect upload to get too much higher than that. |

Even on a single T-1 tower upload speeds are generally not effected by loading as much as downloading. Uploaded data is nowhere near download levels.
Uploading issues can be caused by the amount of transmit power your modem is providing. When you're downloading you are receiving the signal the tower is providing. If you are not using a "Y" connector for your modem you should get one. That will provide your modem twice the available power if it needs it.
I'm on a single T-1 and here's my data.

I experienced something similar during a recent visit to California's Bay Area. There obviously was a multi-T1 tower nearby because I was getting downloads in the vicinity of 2Mbps, but uploads were creeping at around .14 Mbps, like that shown by Zeek15. Here at home, my downloads drop to around 700-900kbps due to just a single T1 tower, but uploads can be up to 1Mbps! Go figure.
