Well, um, I used to be able to download pr0n at 400KB/s before the comcast 4megabit speed for a good solid year and a half, and now since the upgrade my speeds seem to be limited to ~200KB/s. Nothing else on my end has changed, and also since my pingtimes have been consistently around 30-50ms to the giganews server since I got the internet connection, plus I am only about 10 hops away I am pretty sure it is not a bottleneck somewhere out of my control.
