It is. And a lot of it has to do with the configuration of the network.
You're not on a private radius. So you're sharing bandwidth. Cost saving
measure for the carrier. Cable is a lot worse than DSL. Some cable
installations have near an entire neighborhood on a single radius.
Irritating isn't enough of a word for it. But that's how they keep end
user costs manageable. The hard truth is, your 3 cable drops are on the
same radius. You might as well be on a single drop.

Well, two of them are. The third is a completely different provider and
infrastructure. That company has 100 Mb/s services available, but
unfortunately only to large apartment buildings.. wish I could glom onto one
of those..
