People that live in the same neighborhoods often experience variations in their Internet access. This is because there are so many contributing factors that control your connection. Phone lines (internal and external), modem brand and chipset, the Internet Service Provider's equipment, and your location in regards to your Central Office all play very important roles in the service that you will receive. Your modem may not be quite as compatible with the service provider's equipment as your neighbor's. The phone lines running through their house may be in better condition. Unless you are actually experiencing problems with the service, your connection is probably fine. You will be connecting around the maximum speed that your modem/ISP/phone lines can handle.
