Don't forget that between your port on your DSL/Cable modem and the actual
port they may be monitoring there could be transitions through various
protocols that can chew up bandwidth with framing bits and whatnot.

See: http://www.yourdictionary.com/cell-tax as an example.

This can, in worse but common cases, be as much as one fifth of the
bandwidth.
