I managed to transmit at I think 130KB/s on a terayon in Waterloo back
in 1999, on a brand new segment with 3 or 4 users on the entire segment.
Downloads often hit 300 to 340KB/s.  Not sure what docsis actually
allows for up and downstream rates.

Needless to say I have never seen anything like those speeds on rogers
in Toronto.  Shaw in Bolton was close, but when rogers took over the
speed just dropped (along with reliability).  I haven't used rogers for
about 4 or 5 months now so i have no idea what may have changed since.
