s there a cheap isp out there that has unlimited internet with a faster upload speed then 80kbps to 120kbps because uploading a 2.4gb 1080p video to youtube takes like around 7hrs i can live with that kind of upload speed for now i guess but i would like something faster as i am going to be uploading more videos to youtube

I'm guessing you're on ADSL? You will need to upgrade to VDSL or UFB to get better upload speeds.

As lxsw20 mentioned, you'll need a better connection method - check the Chorus Maps to see whats available in your area or contact your ISP to request a check for UFB/VDSL.

Not really a off-topic question as it's related to broadband

Sounds like you have a house wiring fault or connected to a rural cabinet, What do the modem line stats reflect about your connection and changing ISP 99% chance speed will not change

How does this add any value? You don't know anything about end users setup / location and what they have access to

I Could post a 500Mbp/s upload pic but would not help OP

Or perhaps the OP actually means 80-120 KB/s which would be about right for straight ADSL upload, and is also the correct order of magnitude for the mentioned figure of 7 hours for 2.4 GB?

I see thread has been moved

So they need to check if they are in VDSL or Fibre coverage for a faster upload option

OP asked for an ISP with good upload speed, I showed that Snap has a good upload speed. Others had already covered the angles of "you need a decent connection to your house (VDSL/Fibre)". I believe I answered the question asked, though that question isn't really what they needed to know.

Every ISP offers that upload speed that retails UFB it's not exclusive to a single ISP

OP check out VDSL or even better Fibre and if you can get connected up, All retail service providers offer a range of plans and speed

Probably true, most will have no problem with backhaul at that level, but I still answered the question asked.
