lol

I've got NTL @1Mbps (allegedly) but the servers at the other end aren't any quicker. So those 150kb "large res" jpgs are still a bit slow....

Like roadhog aluded to - the problem these days FTMP is related to upload speeds on the other end.

That being said, what kind of upload speed does 100Mbps come with?

yah they're all doing it, everyone with cable access wil have 10Mps basic speed.

I have had 10 Mbs cable for more then 4 years now, and they improved the service about a year and a half ago and now i hit speeds over that (around 12Mbs). My upload sucks though (about 1Mbs upload) and they cap it quickly if they think i am file sharing.

It's all about the quality and bandwidth of the providers hardware. 100 Mbs would be real nice especially if the upload speeds go up to 10 mbs or more.
