I can get 5000 down half the time, but im capped at about 350 up on my cable. Downloading isnt EVER an issue (even with 3 others on the network at my house) uploading sucks though. I was uncapped for about 3 weeks when I first had cable, I could upload at well over 200k/s, it was INSANE! Ah well...broadband rules and welcome to the club, gotta love getting a ping below 50 on CS 50% of the time. $35/month for cable if you own the modem, $49 for dsl (768/128 i think).
