You don't mention what kind of connection you have. Most broadband
connections are 10 times as fast (or more) downstream versus upstream.
The reason your uploads are slower is because you have a slower upstream
connection, probably 256kbps, which would account for your speeds. The
2mbps initial speed is only reporting the speed at which you fill the
associated buffers and caches.
