I have 6MB service from Wide Open West and Im currently downloading at 5.5-6.2MB/s according to DU meter. I am downloading torrents and stuff from EasyNews.com. Maybe I'm just lucky that I get what I pay for?

If your service is thru Comcast, then ya, you are prolly SOL. Not because they are a bad company, but because they are so freaking popular and EVERYONE has them. More people around you that has the same Cable Internet service, the slower your speeds will be.

Thank god I live around a bunch of people that use Comcast

. I think I am one of 5 people using W.O.W. within a block of my house.
