I have Cable and at first i had a 1.5 Mbps connection. Then they doubled it so i was 
curious to check out how much better my bandwidth had gotten  so i took a test and it 
had like 196k upload and 1200 download were my best results. When i asked my ISP 
comcast why i wasnt getting 3 Mbps they said that the bandwidth test was inaccurate 
because if i did 8 tests at the same time they would be all about the same 
upload/download. So my "cap" i am assuming is 3Mbps but only when i have a whole lot 
of action going on like 25 downloads and 5 uploads at the same time. So why cant my 
server for steam work any faster!!!!!! it sucks. I dont like how comcast does that, i 
want 3 apples for each download! and an accurate max upload all the time. Oh pity me! 
I know cable is faster than DSL but is it faster than a T1 T2 or T3 line? And any 
advice to what i can do with my Server. I dont see why i need more than 1.1 ghz AMD 
duron, 768 MB DDR. Im low budget. If thats my problem go ahead and laugh. Not like i 
can hear you!
Sincerely,
 POTHEADshotyou
 Paul
