Torrents are different, they don?t do what the physical link can do.

I am getting a solid 10-11 meg on DSL. I could get Comcast cable and

10x that speed but it would be down once or twice a day, sometimes all day. I saw them running a new "hardline" down my street, replacing that 35 year old cable that was up there on the pole so if I hear their reliability improved, I might give them another chance.

I tried an LTE (cell) connection and it sucked balls. I could get anywhere from 25+m to zero, (totally down). I think they just sent be a bad box but support from Verison was non-existent. Nobody seemed to know squat about this new product. I sent it back during the free trial period.

Upload speeds tend to be slower than download on cable systems, DSL, and dial-up. Fiber systems tend to be symmetrical - same speed in both directions.

Comcast - 952 Mbps download and 42 Mbps upload

I'm in an AT$T Slow-verse neighborhood so fastest speed they offer here is 6 Mbps download and less than 1 Mbps up.
