Actually you are wrong.

Up is sending or uploading data

Down Is receiving or downloading data.

It is when down is showing you are receiving data or information, so you are connected.

If up alone is showing, it is trying to send but its Having problems.

You are very wrong. As I m typing this both arrows are fluctuating. It has nothing to do with uploading or downloading. It's more of a network related thing. You mustn't copy and paste, use your head to think too.
