Why does uploading limit my internet?

Basically when I’m uploading my Internet goes super slow, It takes like 5 minutes to load , When I’m not uploading it takes seconds, This happens on Xp and win 7.

As said you can cap how much upload you use (say leaving 5kb free) You can either use Netlimiter which is an awesome program, or you may have the functions on your router to do it (if you use one)
