There are a few sites to test your speed:

Your results should be more or less same.

I'm having an issue with my upload speed.  In Houston I have the 1GB service and I am only getting an average of a 350 MB upload while I get between 800-900 down.  I thought the speeds were supposed to mirror?

I am on a Desktop running Win7 and connected directly to the gateway via LAN

NO internet service, that I'm aware of, has an upload speed equal to the download speed. I am dsl, and i get six megabits down, and one half of a megabit (512 k) up.

 

My parents have cable, and while they get upwards of 75 mbps down, they only get about 7-10 mbps up.

 

Truth is, that is just as well, because the way it works, you are typically downloading way more than you''d ever upload.

 

Even under the new fcc broadband standars, it's like 30 mbps down, and 3-5 mbps up.

 

Just the nature of the beast.

Some services do have symetric data rates, but it's rare.  Actually, I think Gigapower 300 was 300/300.  

 

When allocating limited bandwidth resources (e.g. frequency bands on copper on the last mile, fibers and frequencies on multi-mode fibers), most data is flowing downstream and so more resources are provided to carry data in that direction.  The bandwidth limitations placed on subscribers normally reflects this reality.
