Re: understanding traffic managment
Cable doesn't have problems with distance vs speed. For a 10Mbps package you will get 10Mbps (providing there is capacity in your area of course).

Traffic management kicking in reduces you to 25% of your speed, or 2.5Mbps. If you're getting lower then either something is using the bandwidth or your upstream is too saturated to give the full download. Torrenting etc during traffic management is virtually impossible.
