Currently I get about 5Mbps down and 512Kbps up. My last place I got 20Mbps down and 5 Mbps up. I think it has a lot to do with the demographics of the neighborhood (ie, how many people have kids that hog all the bandwidth versus old people's and jet-setter's apartments that don't use it or are rarely home) Latency at both places was relatively high, but stable. My biggest problem with SFCN has been the DNS server's reliability, and a couple service outages a year lasting several hours. Otherwise, it's been roughly the same experience I've had with Comcast in another city. Probably way better than DSL and Digis.
