What is your maximum upload speed? I upload videos to pond5, but the maximum I get is 6 mb/sec. My internet is up to 100 mb/sec. And I wonder if I connect to 1 gb/sec internet, will it increase my upload speed to stocks agencies ftp servers?

My speed when ftp'ing clips to Pond5 is around 4.5 mb/sec.

This is not enough. And this is probably when you are loading only 1 file. If you are loading 10 files at the same time, the speed of loading one file will probably be much lower.
I see, so 1Gb/sec internet doesn't solve the problem.
It's strange that your upload speed is only 35. My upload speed on 100 Mb internet is about the same.

I rarely upload 1 clip at a time.  Usually ftp upload in batches of 5-10 video files or more.  Files sizes typically 200-600 mb  for each file.

The 4.5 mb/sec is the typical speed consistently shown by my FTP s/w when uploading batches of video clips. 

At least in the US throttled upload speeds are not uncommon depending on the ISP. My ISP is a cable TV provider that also provides internet services over their copper cable TV system. At present my area has no other choices that can provide any decent speed. 

The 4.5 mb/sec ftp upload works ok. 1 gb/35mb is the fastest available in my neighborhood at present - so until a fiber ISP is available in my neighborhood it's the best available we got.

Is it US? I live in Europe... here we have with fiber 1g download and 400mb upload + 5g unlimited for smartphone. Still when i upload to P5 sometimes it takes a minute or two to upload 6 videos of 400-600mb.

Start uploading 1 file to pond5. What speed do you see, how many mb/sec?

Fiber ISP offers higher speed than 1gbps?

Fiber internet service here is typically advertised as being "asymmetrical".  Meaning 1 gb fiber service has 1 gb download and 1gb upload speeds.  In other words - the upload speed is not fixed at a much lower speed than download like many non-fiber ISP services do here.

There are fiber services here up to 5gb and maybe more in other areas.

Yeah, connect 1 or 5 gb fiber service and get upload speed on pond5 at 5 mb/sec.
