    Well?

    That has to be some kind of corporate network?

    Nope. Just a home network, cable modem in the basement, wifi laptop in the living room. Cable provider is Comcast, modem is just a standard Motorola Surfboard, router a basic Linksys.

    Well, technically, we run our two corporations through this setup, so in a sense you're right.

    I'm using the el cheapo cable internet offered for $29,95 per month. Supposedly for $49.95 per month I can get internet twice as fast. I'm just to cheap to buy it.

    This isn't even their steroid version. Comcast high-speed advertises 8 Mbps download speed ("make lag a thing of the past") and they are definitely pitching it to gamers. You also get:

    • Full Access to Game Invasion with free IGN Founders’ Club Membership, including:
    --FilePlanet with exclusive betas, demos and mods.
    --GameSpy Arcade, where you can battle others online with cheat-free, fast servers.
    --IGN Insider, with strategy guides, exclusive features, high-res videos and dedicated boards.
    Sadly, even though I'm in a major metro area, it's not available at my address.

    Yes, that's well above 8Mbps what you're getting.
    I know, but what can I say... I just clicked "Chicago" and that was the result.
    On the Comcast site, I entered my address and got the "Sorry" screen.
