Robert I think you are misstating what you are reading. Cable usually has a high speed DOWNLOAD and a slower speed UPLOAD. it is 768 down and 2?? up. 6 mps down and 4?? up. 16 mps down and ???up. Down indicates how fast the connection is tor each from point a to your end. The up indicates how fast it is from you to point a. (The way Charter does it, my Cable modes MAC is registered with them and they throttle the speed through signals sent to my modem. DSL numbers would also reflect this difference. Yes from the numbers you stated earlier you are getting better than you pay for. A UNIQUE CONDITION in cable broad brand. I pay for 5mps and get anywhere from 300kbs to 4600mps down from my provider. By the way DSL will tell you will never share your connection (which is correct) but read the sheets closely and what they don't say is that your down speed will fall the farther from the switch you get. So you can pay for 1.5mps and probably never get better than 1.2mps. Hope I did not muddy the waters any.
