Are you really getting that bandwidth.  At home here I am on a 500Kbit 50:1
(home500) package with Zen and I regularly see (night or day) >50Kbytes/sec.

Recently I was on a client's site and installing some [Debian] packages
and I was only seeing about 38Kbytes/sec on the download.  I was informed
that this was 1Mbit 20:1 package.

Just because they have set the up-stream max settings doesn't mean that
that is what you see.
