That's fairly common. Are you using any splitters that may be giving you a poor signal?

You're speedtest is what you should be getting for 6/512, remember its 6megaBIT's, not megaBYTEs, 6megabits per second would be roughly 700k or so, so you're right on.

You mean 5.796mb/s right? 5.796gb/s would be insane bandwidth!
