Here is my test via Cox Cable:

As you can see, it is pretty erratic and I can vouch for that because I
can never listen to any streaming A/V without it hanging up. Maybe
Verizon is a better option. I'll be interested to hear any feedback.

About 50% faster than cable and very steady. This is what good service
should look like.

This may be why so many cable subscribers are unhappy. The data rate is
typical for cable, but the way you get it is very erratic -- it is all
stop and go. For web page display and file downloads this does not
mattter. For streaming media this is probably okay if you have a large
enough buffer. For time sensitive services, like IP telephony, this is
probably not good.
How do my guesses stack up against your experience?
