This was not megabit, it was megabyte! I get 5 mega bit here at home which is about 600k bytes/sec. What I got at work was 2.5 megabytes/sec, over 4 times faster than my 5m bit/sec here at home on my cable modem.

DOCSIS 2.0 doesn't provide for much more...a max of 38mbit/s per node. FIOS is, of course, even faster...but I would hope that no business that relies on connectivity uses a best-effort service such as those.
