Yeah, I expected some latency and lower bandwidth due to the extra hops and their capacity but going from 100 to 5 is a bit much.
I'm still guessing it's either something I need to set up differently or it's Comcast somehow throttling it but I've tried both TCP and UDP set to auto and to each of the other choices they give you. I've tried connecting to the closest server and to others. And if I do the speedtests on their site (testing the speed of their connections) they seem to be as fast as you would expect.
Just not quite sure what to try next. I'm only out $35 and on the rare occasions where I really need to use it (occasional TV show torrenting), I have no complaints about longer waits since I'm not paying for them. At this point it's mostly just bugging me that I haven't found a solution.

I'd be interested to try downloading from usenet and see what speeds you get (to see if encrypted connections are being throttled) as I regularly can get 5.0-6.5MBps (Notice capital "B").
