Just to add to this, I have gotten upward of 450kb/s but usually hang around
350kb/s for downloads and around 40 to 50 kb/s for upload. For upload, I
usually don't fluctuate that much, it's generally a steady 44 kb/s sometimes
higher, and rarely lower.
All of the above are in bytes and not bits.
Take care,
Sina

My ISP offers a speed test link on its web site so that subscribers can test
their transfer speeds. When downloading from an arbitrary site, your
observed speed will depend on the slowest link in the path of hops between
that site and your system, and that is generally not known in advance.
With cable, your bandwidth is shared with a (hopefully) small group of
neighboring subscribers, and if all your neighboring subscribers happen to
be downloading at the same time, your performance (and theirs) will suffer.
The only practical thing you can do that I know of is to shoot your
neighbors, but that is going to extremes.
I can generally count on download speeds of 125 k bytes per second, and have
seen as high as 250 k bytes per second, and as low as 13 k bytes per second.
The last figure was due to limited upload bandwidth at the originating site.
My upload speeds when doing an FTP to my ISP runs from 15 to 25 k bytes per
second. I cannot account for the variation by anything over which I have
control.
