I guess that depends on what you compare against...

I am one of the test subjects for the SamKnows EU project, so there's a 
little white box that sits between my fiber box and my home router, 
according to last month's statistics I am getting an average of 45 
Mbit/s download and 41 Mbit upload, most probably measured against a 
server in the UK. Not too shabby!

"Download caps???"

You can't sell a fixed connection with caps here in Norway.

The only network I have with download limits is the regular cell 
phone/usb dongle which has a 15 GB/month limit. Past this point the 
speed drops to something in the ISDN range (100 kbit/s ?).

Sufficiently many heavy users reach the limit each month that we can see 
the average use of the network always starts dropping a bit over the 
last week or so!
