It really depends upon where you live, and how close you live to the
nearest exchange, more than the ISP.
Back when I was on ADSL, I got around 13mb on a 20mb max service, a
friend who lives 5 miles away out in the country gets around 2mb.
I think the average here in the UK is something like 6mb.

I'm on a 10mb package on cable now, and 10mb is what I get - I believe
they used fibre optic cabling for the most part, so it should not suffer
from the same problems as copper wiring. It doesn't seem to suffer from
slowdowns at peak periods, certainly not that noticeable or like how
dialup could slow to a crawl.
