That may have been true, it is not true now.

I pay Comcast for 25MBps and I get 2.5 MB/s consistently for hours and hours. 
Sometimes there will be a small hiccough and the speed will drop at bit 
(1.8MB/s) but that is rare.

I run snapshot backups of two remote servers every 4 hours, and so I have many 
hundreds of GB per month in transfers and I am getting my full speed, of all 
intents and purposes, all the time.
