I just did a quick test from CT, on a connection that measures out at 350mbps down / 11mbps up, and was getting a consistent 1.33Mbps. The 26MB Sample Project uploaded in 18 seconds.
Besides getting rid of unneeded "security" software, also make sure that you're getting what you're paying for from your internet provider. Install this app:

The online test is OK, but not very accurate at higher speeds - the installed app is much better. During the test, the needle on the meter should pretty much stay in one spot - if it's bouncing up and down, you've got connectivity problems.
