Saving on boosting my WiFi signal

TalkTalk upload speed on Fibre 65
My guaranteed upload speed is 6.22 Mbps but I can't get more than 5Mbps on any of my devices. Even when I only have one device connected and it is a wired connection directly into the router. TalkTalk tell me that I am getting an upload speed of 12.1Mbps. That seems to be a huge discrepancy and I don't understand why.
