Go to the cable company and ask them to GUARANTEE IN WRITING
the speed they quoted you on.  When you are done do the same to an
ASDL provider.  You will find much enlightenment there.

Cable modems are much like LBJ.  The posted speed limit (well for much of it)
is 60.  But I doubt you can go that fast at 7 AM.  Cable modems are the
same.  They told you the maximum speed that cable can carry.  They
forgot to tell you you share that with everyone and his brother.   But please,
don't take my word for it.  There are many places on the Internet dealing
with cable companies overloaded systems and the "promised" speeds
disappearing.
