My gut feeling says you have a 200/0.5Mbit/s connection at maximum, because just from watching some download monitor out of the corner of my eye while downloading something with 100Mbit/s requires about 250kbit/s ACK packets in the upstream.

No more ACKs? No more DL!

No, I can still hit (almost) 1 Gigabit on the downlink. DOCSIS networks are so heavily asymmetric, they take special measures (ACK compression) to get around that!

Interesting... never been on Cable/DOCSIS.
