Comment The DL on why speeds aren't up to par (Score 1) 688
First of all we'll go over DSL. The further you are from the CO, the slower your speeds will be.
And as for cable, you must remember that your neighborhood is on a hub that has a max speed. If they oversubscribe this hub, you won't get the advertised speeds.
Fortuantely, I live in an area were not many people have cable modems, so the hub is not oversubscribed, and therefore I get speeds in the 5.4Mbps area. (Depending on the destination, of course.)
