I use IPCop on a Roger's cable modem unlimited business plan in Atlantic Canada

The box is a pentium III with probably a gig of memory.  base IPcop
2.x install (not sure when it was last updated, but quite a while ago.
Two PCI NICs and the motherboard NIC.

Using Speedtest.net on a Toronto server I have seen numbers go as high
as 80 for a burst, and consistently I can get 55Mbps down.  I suspect
that our 100Mbps switch and Cat5 infrastructure is more the limiter
than IPCop.  I also suspect that our older PC's may be the speed
limiters - when we get a newer higher speed PC it usually shows higher
speeds.

Is it realistic to expect more than 80Mbps over Cat5 (100Mbps)
infrastructure?  Gotta upgrade to gigabit switches (and replace a LOT
of wires...)
