Actually, the downstream went all the way up to 19Mbps and the upstream went up to 1,800Kbps when my PowerBook G4 was plugged directly into the modem, so my aging Belkin router (F5D7230-4) appears to be the bottleneck now.

Need For Speed
A few months ago Comcast introduced PowerBoost: a temporary speed increase of up to 12Mbps downstream and up to 1,900Kbps upstream but apparently, my old modem (Motorola SB4200) was not up to the task - I never got more than 6Mbps down and 350Kbps up, so I got a rental modem (WebSTAR DPC2100) today and here are the results of a speed test! :)
