It really depends.  

I've got what I consider to be an excellent cable service - with realistic 600K down, 75K up.  My mother lives in MO and pays the same price for her cable.  She gets 300K down, 25K up.  

16K isn't horrible, but if it were me, I'd probably be complaining.  If you do any online gaming, it's going to become a choke point for you pretty quickly.

I wish you luck!

ETA:  I wrote this assuming you meant 16.4K up.  If you actually mean 16.4Mbps up, then you're being a

There is no way this is uploading at 16k.. Going way to fast.. So I suppose its supposed to be 16Mbs

Nah.. 16.4mbs only equals 2.05MB/sec   It's ok I guess.


ETA, Is that on a T or do you have FTTP (FIOS)  thats about what you would get woth FIOS.
