During the late evening and the morning, I'll usually hit around 7 mbit/sec, during the afternoon and early evening, usually around 3 mbit/sec. Never really tested the upstream. Really wish FiOS would be around, tired of tethering my iPhone whenever TimeWarner decides to take down the neighborhood for a weekend. ~40 USD/Month, TimeWarner.

It's slow but it beats paying more than twice that price for Comcast. Also I like the thought of supporting "new" initiatives for far-reaching wireless. $30/month for Clear WiMAX here in Portland, OR.
