I'm uploading to Webair right now for a client and it's only going at a measly 50 KB/s. I can upload at slightly over 200 KB/s with my connection to Soft Layer and The Planet.

What gives?

I have Time Warner Cable (business class cable) in Chatsworth. 15 Mbps down / 2 Mbps up. Speakeasy speed tests all the way to the East Coast get me around 12 Mbps down and 1.2 Mbps up and yet why can't I transfer to/from these hosting companies at even close to that?
