Surely this is completely subjective?

Wearing my end-user hat, I see, and expect, TCP traffic flowing at
about 55kB/s on a BT Home 500 circuit, and proportionally higher
throughputs on the 1000 and 2000 offerings.

If it routinely fell below about 75% of the theoretical maximum even
to close sites, I'd switch providers.
