I ask because the discrepancy is roughly a factor of 10, which is suspicious because it almost always means you are talking about BITs in one place and BYTEs in another (a factor of 8, but protocol overhead will raise the cost per byte slightly, so 10 is a handy rule of thumb). If you link is 64kilobits per second (eg ISDN) then an upload speed of 6 kilobytes per second is perfectly fine.
