Out of idle curiosity: have you actually measured data-transfer?

I pay for 6Mbit/s but get only 3Mbit/s. Of course, all kinds of people want 
to sell me flat rates with "up to 16 Mbit/s" - but when I ask them to give 
me a written statement that I >will < be able to use at least  a 6 Mbit/s 
line, I never ever hear of them again.

God, how I hate advertisements with "up to" or "starting from"...

It's a bit like trying to sell a 40 year old VW beetle and advertising that 
it will be able to travel at speeds >up to< 800.000 km/h...

Incindentally it actually does travel this fast provided you look at it from 
the center of our galaxy. ;-) The actual speed and direction of it relative 
to your own street can be seen as a mere pertubation in this case. 
Everything just depends on your standpoint...

(For the more conventionally minded resellers of used cars: we can safely 
assume that any car can travel at speeds of up to 200 km/h, albeit briefly. 
Just push it off the cliff of your choice.)
