Netscape and IE have report upwards of ~750-835KB/sec pulling adcritic.com. I've seen 11.5 meg Quicktime clips completely transfer to me in 23 seconds. I've also pulled a test bmp file from RR at a hair over 900KB/sec. Granted that was a year ago. Here of late it'll hang around 400-600 from the net and 700 from the internal test server. Though I see no speed increase or decrease when moving the cable modem from my FBSD 3.3 box to the Win32 box.
