That's download speed, making a download. That's a very good connection speed, but downloads are more related to your connection speed. True, they are real life use, but they're not anywhere near actual bandwidth. If anyone has downloaded from a good hotline server, for instance, I've seen downloads 3-4x as fast as the http downloads through a web browser.
Things like CNET's bandwidth meter are very inaccurate because there are so many variables involved and can be influenced by so many things, but they also tend to show a number far closer number to your actual throughput then say an http download is.

Even "B" wireless is far faster than what a cable modem can deliver. Either
have him go back to wireless or use a router and run a cable to his
computer. Our cable runs at 350k sec on downloads which doesn't begin to tax
a wireless system.

Hello:
I know this may sound stupid, but I'm eager to hear from you people
before I talk to my
cable company (Adelphia) in person tomorrow. I have a question.

About three months ago my video game crazy son wanted a fast connection
of his
own (faster than wireless he thinks) so I had my cable company install
another outlet
and I bought him a modem and had it registered.
