Just fired up my 8ta modem, and the speeds look good:

Download Speed: 5201 kbps (650.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 2203 kbps (275.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 58 ms
 
International also not too bad :)

I got the Huawei E173 to do some testing in my area, here are the results:

Local:
Download Speed: 4035 kbps (504.4 KB/sec transfer rate)

International:

This is on 2-3 bars for signal though.

Edit: The results below are after I moved the modem around to try and improve the signal.

2 bars signal strength...
 
Yeah I can understand that.
I play on XBL with 8ta and its actually damn good. CellC is pretty bad, but the actual DL speeds are excellent, just not good enough for gaming.
