Digital BW, The Print

Paul, 
Typically their is a huge difference between upload and download speeds..
I.E. Cable Modem may offer 1.5 - 3.0 Mbps download but the same outfit will typically offer only 400 - 600 Kpbs upload
ADSL dowload is usually specked at about 1.4 Mbps down and 400 Kbps uploading.. 
But non of these specks allow for routing or traffic loading loading so in reality their overstated functionally as you'll never hit them. 
Anyway, a true 1.5 MB per second speed is really honking.. So those getting it are truly blessed by the puter Gods I'd say. 
For those that want to really see what it shakes out to their are software packaes that measure those and \ track your bandwidth usage etc.. I use DU Meter and it tracks all the traffic on my local networks and also internet and ftp traffic.

  The 1.5 Mb seems low for cable. Do you have the same cable at home 
  and office?
