You already failed. If you can buy it at Staples/Officemax/BestBuy/etc - I don't care how much you paid for it - it's consumer grade. It sucks.)

My Linksys WRT-54GL was crap until I installed DD-WRT and tweaked a few settings. Now it's a champ, although I'm sure not as good as an enterprise-quality one.

The top tier cox residential service is advertised with 1.5Mbps upload speeds. 180KBps is 1.44Mbps. You consistently upload at the speed your ISP promises. If you want higher speeds, look into their business fios service.

Oh, and even if your provider says they have 512MB upload doesn't mean you can get 512 MB/s. I get 65kb/s MAX on that much.

I shook my head when I saw this.
Your provider isn't telling you you have 512 MB/s up. That's a 4 gigabit connection, which you can get with an OC-96 connection, which is absolutely ridiculous for a residential line, and still overkill for a business line, even one relying heavily on the Internet (and still pretty big even for a seedbox). You most likely have 512 kbps up, because that translates to 64 KB/s, and a 512 kbps upload makes a lot more sense for a residential line. I'm paying $33 CAD a month for that. A 4 gbit connection probably costs several thousand USD per month.

wow it could be worse heres mine
but yeah it looks like its capped by your isp

Oh man, I'm remembering my university connection now.
I could get 5.5MB / second per torrent, and I could have multiple torrents going at the same time (up to 5.5MB each). Also, 1.2MB / second uploads were possible. I didn't push it too hard, though, since I didn't want to get kicked off.
Because of a recent move, I'm stuck at a place with only DSL. Hello, 150K/ second max, and 30K/second uploads!
