A reason why twisted-pair based xDSL services can be annoying.

Here're the stats from my modem when it was first installed, only connection on the cabinet:

Max: Upstream rate = 29421 Kbps, Downstream rate = 98020 Kbps
Path: 0, Upstream rate = 19999 Kbps, Downstream rate = 79987 Kbps

So in theory I could max out at 98Mb/s downstream, 29.4Mb/s upstream if the rate limits were removed.

Here're the stats now.

Max: Upstream rate = 21782 Kbps, Downstream rate = 66332 Kbps
Path: 0, Upstream rate = 19999 Kbps, Downstream rate = 65655 Kbps

Lost 20% from my downstream speed, 32% from the maximum attainable rate.

Bleh.
