If you can test the speed directly, that is to say, connect as close to the source as possible then at least you can rule out signal degradation. If the speed is still crap talk to your boss about it and just have him standing there to give Bell the security info over the phone then complain on his behalf.
It's not just us. I have a buddy across town who is also on BellNet and he experiences the same slow down while uploading.

I believe Bell is throttling the upload band to slow down handshaking with P2P programs. I'm sure anyone trying to upload in peak hours is going to get the same results I am.

Downloading and general surfing seems to be quick enough, however.
