Pay attention to quality of service. If it's real low and your download speed starts way over 6.6 or 8.8 Mbps depending on your tier traffic shaping is not enabled on your head end. Bursting can go as high as 20Mbps however with traffic shaping you will have a nice 8.8 Mbps sustained if you're a gold tier subscriber.
Of course this ASSumes you're not in an oversubscribed area or going through one of those pesky overloaded routers.
As always your (s)mileage will vary. Have FUN and stay high and dry tonight.
