I get a 15mb line down, with a 2mb line up.

Just downloaded from GameTrailers.com at 1300kbps. Going to log onto usenet later, apparently friends of mine were getting 1700kbps.

my verizon DSL is rated 768, so I think the problem is verizon.

I kind of agree with Shikaku. I haven't even stepped up to the fastest residential package my ISP provides because 9 times out of 10, I've found the limiting factor to be the upload speeds on the other end. On a well seeded torrent I can pull 3-400kBytes/sec but most of the time I'm getting 20-30 because there's only two seeders and they're on a PPPoE connection that severely limits their upload speeds. Until fast upload speeds become the norm, my download speed isn't a huge limiting factor.
