I have sucky cable... 60kbs max download on a good day.  Usually 40kbs... and I am paying $70 a month for this because the local cable company has a monopoly on the broadband market, that is until August 12th when DSL finally enters the market here.  I am going to be switching ASAP due to less money - $40 a month and most likely faster downloads and a more consistant ping.  

I checked the speed of the ISP on that one site (can\'t remember the name) and it was ranked as one of the slowest.  Pathetic...

wow giga, those are really shitty rates for a cable connection.  I\'ve had my cable for about 4 months now and I generally download between 150k - 400k sec (depending on time of day) and I ping usually below 50ms, some times between 50-75 during peak times.  All this for $45 a month... which isn\'t that bad.

Overall though I love cable and I just can never go back to dial-up

I use Cox High Speed Internet here in Nebraska.  When I first got it it was amazingly fast.  Not matter what time I downloaded, it would always be at 300k+ a sec.  Now it\'s gotten to the point where from around 5p.m. until midnight it\'s slooowwww.  I can\'t remember the last time I saw a file download at 300k/s.

Cable modems share bandwidth with the entire network (like your neighborhood), right?  I\'m guessing it\'s gotten slow because more and more people have started using it.
