Companies put your upload speed lower to sort of "pad" your download speed a bit, so when you are uploading at full potential it won't f**k with your download speed much (however, your latency/ping will still go WAY UP).

Yeah. I used to have 128kbits up and even when uploading at that much (16kB per sec) my ping in games would go up by a 20-50ms. I know later on they improved my upload speed to 256kbps, but for a month now I've been getting around 40kBps and even over 50 in this test. They never mentionned changing the upload speed, so that's weird, but anyway, it's a good thing, except now my ping is much worse in games (much less stable, higher in some cases and very high when I upload at full speed).
