Hi David

There could be many many reasons for this, but you have not provided any information for anybody to go with that might help.

How fast is your "outgoing" broadband connection?
What type and size are the files you are trying to upload?
Where is the server your trying to upload to, UK, USA, Australia etc..

If your trying to upload lots of big image files to a server in America, then you will probably find things to be time consuming due to the extra distance the data needs to travel, requiring more routing, more hops, and many many more miles than a server in the UK for example.

Could you possibly be uploading at peak times to a host that tends to "Oversell" their resources and their servers might be crowded?

We've known customers that have come to us and tell us how impressed they are with the speed improvements, only to find that they were previously using a hosting company that was just a "reseller" of an australian company and their server was actually based down under, but their resellers website "claimed" all servers were UK Hosted.

Try doing a "PING" from your own PC to your domain name and see how fast you get a response, then let us know how quick the ping response time was here...
