Heh. I have, at nominal, 16Mbps. During peak times, though, it drops like a rock below that to even being intermittent - Google Talk and AIM will drop every couple of minutes. Our cable node is seriously overloaded, and Cablevision isn't doing a damn thing about it. Over the summer everything was pretty reliable, but then a bunch of new students moved into the 'hook and it plummeted. I can get 16Mbps - if I'm lucky - at 4am, and sometimes 8Mbps throughout the day. But from 7 to midnight or so, it's impossible to even browse the web.
