I get up to 30-40mbit/sec to "close" sites.  (i.e. ftp.kddilabs.jp,
ftp*.jp.freebsd.org, etc.)  And that is through a NAT, not directly
to the PPPoE termination device.  Typically 20-30mbit/sec to my
machines in the office.  (New-Family line - the 100mbit is
shared with up to 3 other users in theory)
