My internet upload speed is really slow compared to my download and ping. Is this normal?

My ping is 35, my download is 18mbs, but my upload is .9mbs. Is there a way to fix this slow upload speed? My internet plan is 20mbs speed. I've heard that ISP's lock upload speed sometime. Is there any way that I can make my upload around 3-5mbs? I would like it higher so I could stream games, if possible.

You could call or wait for the live chat feature to be online.

They had an old brochure showing something about 2 up, but I am not sure what plans that applies to.
This depends on your ISP. Most have much slower uploads then downloads

My provider had 20 down 1 up for years and still only has 2 up(pretty bad to be honest).

So check your plan to see what you are supposed to be getting for upload.

Steaming games should be possible with low upload, but it does not take much other stuff to overwhelm it.
