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. -- THE DEATH OF A WARRIOR OR THE OLD MAN OR THE LITTLE CHILD, THIS I UNDERSTAND, AND I TAKE AWAY THE PAIN AND END THE SUFFERING.
