When the far end only gives you 10Mbps? I've got as much as 300Mbps in a remote datacenter and it's rare that I see more than 10Mbps on many sites. Yesterday I downloaded some stuff from Adobe and I could not get over 10Mbps from them.
I have been pointing this out for the past two weeks every time an article of this type comes up. I am still shocked that so many people who visit this website dont understand this simple fact of the internet!
and we keep telling you the same thing
MORE THEN ONE CONNECTION AT THE SAME TIME

im guessing you live alone
you should see how fast a 20Mbps connection gets used with 3-5 people in one home
I do not live alone, and your comment is still irrelevant. There are many small businesses who operate on a single T1 (1.54Mbps) with anywhere from 5 to 20 people using it without issue. Now (as I have stated before), if the 3 to 5 people (kids) living with you are illegally downloading music/movies you will see an impact on the performance of your circuit.

If your network cant handle a 20Mbps connection with just 3 to 5 people on it, I strongly suggest you do some investigating. Do you have an open (unencrypted AP)? If so, you might have more like 25 to 30 people using your connection, and then your situation makes a lot more sense.
