Fast Broadband?!?

I don't think you can answer "yes" to both questions O.o

BitTorrent does not make any guarantees to speed, so it won't always max your connection out -- in fact, it's less likely that it does than not. It's not necessarily the speed at which you give other people, it just gives you a higher chance of getting an upload slot from someone, but that's not guaranteed either.

If you're using BitLord, it may be because LOTS of people are using protocol encryption now which BitLord doesn't support. In short, you cannot connect with lots of them even if you're not firewalled!

Chances are, your ISP also throttles/partially blocks BitTorrent traffic -- and that too contributes to very poor results you're seeing.
