That's good dude. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with Verizon last night about my speed. We have the 75/35 package and were only getting 12/5. Changed some channel and port settings with the tech and now it's getting around 72/40 so I'm happy.
The only issue (aside from not being able to stream a 720p youtube video) was that all the speed test sites (4 of them) showed about 16/6 . But Verizons test showed 74/32 before the fix, wtf?Ded

Yeah, I've found that some of the sites show much lower speeds than others, and it just didn't seem right. I tested on my phone via wifi and got the true speed, so I looked at some other test sites, and 4 were almost identical to the speed I got above, some were showing single digit Mbps speeds. It must be something not jiving with those sites."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Yeah, the best way is to block certain IP ranges responsible for throttling the stream.
sudo ipfw add reject src-ip 173.194.55.0/24 in
