I have been testing my residential ISP/DSL-Landline

what I am paying for. Supposedly, one can use the various
website based "speed test" tools to determine their upload
and download speeds.

Other than by using `speed testers', I have yet to find a download
site that pushes out more than 2-300KB/s?

I have tried HTTP, FTP & Bittorent and there is very little or no
speed improvements as far as I can tell.

Just wondering,

Just a little aside ...

If you're looking for a site that can saturate your connection, try <newshosting.com> as a usenet provider. They seem to be able to push as much bandwidth as you can take. They max out my 12 Mbit cable with a single connection, and they allow 20 connections per client. Of course, they aren't free.
