I've been experiencing really low upload speeds lately, only around 2.9 Mbps when I'm used to getting about 30 Mbps. My download speed is fine, usually hitting 600 Mbps. I have a good internet connection and my computer is connected via Ethernet. I'm not sure what's causing this issue. Any advice?

Speed tests can be a bit hit or miss, kind of like tarot cards! Your upload speed can be influenced by many factors—from the device and app you're testing on to your router's connection with your ISP. If it’s consistently low, there might be a more serious underlying issue.
Have you tried rebooting your modem recently? Sometimes that can fix major issues. Also, double-check the speed test site you’re using, because some can be unreliable. Just remember that upload speed is usually less critical unless you're frequently uploading large files or streaming.
If you're usually getting around 30 Mbps, it might be an issue with your ISP right now. Look into rebooting your router and try running tests on various servers. If the problem continues into tomorrow, reach out to your ISP. Also, make sure no background apps, like cloud storage syncing, are hogging your upload speed.
