You can upload as much as 4-6 GB a month without getting a call from the AUP as long as you are not the cause of network congestion. However, uploading puts more stress on the node than downloading. This can be explained rigorously but it will be about half a page of explanation. To put it in simpler terms, upload can impede the performance of the network and can slow down other users performance, speed-wise. That is why Shaw does not allow users to run servers unless you are on the business package. However, on the business package, you are still limited to the amount of data you upload, a gig a day is a good guideline, but remember, for the business package, combined up/down transfer is officially limited to 50 gigs.
Here is a link to what shaw has to say.
