That term is not regulated, so even 1 Mbps can be called "high speed". And nobody will tell you how fast it really is. If you plan on streaming any shows/movies/games, forget DSL. Only cable will do. I believe Comcast offers Business Class internet too. Don't know how fast it is and I'm sure it's more money.
You can measure your internet speed here...

Tonight my PING to Tampa is 60 ms and my speed is 28.52 Mbps DOWN and 5.86 Mbps UP. That's pretty typical.
What's yours and who's your ISP?
