You might have a torrent with crappy seeds there. Also i think when they say 3-5 mb/s they mean mbits (1 mb = 8 mbits)
Usually opening ports gets you higher upload speeds ( usually dl speed increases as your upload does , when it gets to torrents) .
I have been using a 8 mbit dl / 2 mbit ul connection for about 5 years now and i can't really complain. With torrents i rarely hit max dl speed but the upload is always as high as possible. Sometimes your connection has a set amount of bandwidth, which is distributed between upload and download so your upload might be eating away your download as it is usually set as a priority.
If you desperately feel the need to upgrade your connection, id say go for it if you got the cash.
