Both back in Texas and now here in Reno I've been using SBC's "Expert" ADSL, 6MBit/600kbps. In Texas we were 11,000 feet from the CO so I rarely saw above 450kbps upstream, but here in Reno we're only about 4,000 feet out and the *lowest* my upstream has been is 530kbps.
As for downloads, back in Texas we never got aboube 4.4Mbit, but here we pull from 5.8-6 every time.
