It actually is a middle-of-the-road connection. 5 MBit is about the slowest you can still get over here, except if you live on a farm on dial-up. So.. IMHO, 5.3 MBit/s is on the slow side of things

Your upload speed of 0.75 MBit/s, or 96 KB/s, is (IMHO) unusable nowadays for anything but basic websurfing. That's the speed I had in 2003.
You're talking about download speeds. Before I moved to cable, I only had ADSL at 4Mbit/s down and 1Mbit up. And I don't live on a farm on dial-up! I do live in a small village, but one that is simply too far away from the closest distribution point (about 7km from the nearest city). I moved to a cable connection simply because I do agree with one thing: 1Mbit up is too slow if you really want to make use of cloud solutions.

About the OP:

I notice completely different numbers. For me, Dropbox is fastest (haven't timed it) and OneDrive slowest (have never uploaded large files to Google Drive, so I can't say anything about that).
