Rain slow upload speeds

Just a note if you are having poor upload speeds.
Please move your Router around and make absolutely sure your you are near a window that is closest to the tower.
My house. Case in point:
Router in kitchen near the window (Which I thought was closest to tower)
Ping: 30ms
Download: 71.01Mbps
Upload: 0.39Mbps

I then consulted Google maps and saw I had "presumed" wrong, lounge window was actually closer to tower.
Moved router to lounge near window.
Ping: 24ms
Download: 73.65Mbps
Upload: 7.95Mbps

Hi,
If You have 5G and are logged in to My Rain on the site and you go to 'Manage' You will see a map that shows the towers around You. Mine showed a line to the tower I'm connected too. By magnifying You can see which side of the house is closest to the tower and work out the room which should be the best.
I just had a look and the line showing the tower I am connected to is not showing tonight., but it was showing this morning. I've noticed that before, not sure why.
Hope that helps!
