Remember, you DO NOT have an 8Mbs connection... You have an *Up to 8Mbs* 
connection. There is no guarantee of 8Mbs performance, or possibly even the 
infrastructure/signal to support the full bandwidth. Let alone when you are 
sharing the 30Mbs max capacity cable backbone with 1000 of your closest 
neighbors.
