From my PC at home connecting to DSL Reports Seattle speed test
http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Last Result:
Download Speed: 4235 kbps (529.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 342 kbps (42.8 KB/sec transfer rate)

Also from my home to the same test, but I am using Windows XP Remote Desktop, and connecting to the UT 2004/Battlefield 2 server that member Drew runs.
Last Result:
Download Speed: 9708 kbps (1213.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 14328 kbps (1791 KB/sec transfer rate)

Hows that for upload?
The download is usually around 22,000 for the above server.
There could be a slight snafu with the ISP for the box right now.

But on mine, 4,000 is the download cap, so I am just a tad over it right now.
Very happy with Comcast, and it is working great with the Vonage phone system.
