So, let's say you address part of your problem with a shitty residential t1 loop by implementing traffic shaping on your router. You take some measurements with dslreports, and you cap your bandwidth at, say 240kbps. Yes, that bad. It enables Vonage to work slightly, and that's what you're after.

Fast forward two weeks. You (or, more importantly, your wife) gets fed up with the shitty network and inept administration, and you order cable modem.

Cable is installed. You rewire the network, and check your speed.

WTF??? 240kbps down? This is supposed to be three mbit!

If you find yourself in this situation, kindly remember to turn off shaping, or at least tweak the thresholds.
