Have you got the stats from your router to show us? Log on to 192.168.0.1 (username admin, password sky) then click show statistics and post your details from there.
There's obviously a few things to take into consideration when working out what your max speed for up and download will be.
Which package are you on?
How long have you been connected? New connections are subject to a 10 day line test, during which your speeds can fluctuate a lot.
You are making the common mistake of getting KB/s and kbps mixed up. When you download a file the figure you get is KB/s (Kilobytes a second) but your Sky router gives the figure in kbps (Kilobits a second)
Your 900kbps gives you a upload of around 109KB/s
The OP's 70KB/s is equal to 572kbps.
To give some further context my upload is 796kbps which is equal to about 97KB/s
Additionally what needs to be remembered is the speed a router connects at is only the maximum. You won't achieve that ever as there are additional overheads and other factors which will decide the actual upload speed
Connection Speed 10508 kbps 764 kbps
Line Attenuation 36.5 db 20.1 db
Noise Margin 7.1 db 14.5 db
So it seems i'm getting the best possible, bugger bit slow innit.
56db attenuation.
