That's is exactly what I have right now. Streaming HD is out of the question. Youtube will stream at 360p pretty well and if the gods are smiling you can sometimes get 480p to play with a bit of buffering. Youtube sucks speed wise anyways. I still watch all my tv and movies off of primwire.ag and most of the time there is no buffering, but the quality isn't that great, dvd'ish at best(but that's more of an encoding issue). No idea about xbox, I actually planned on trying it in a couple months. I heard netflix will work after a bit of buffering, untested myself. PC gaming, Battlefield 3 works well enough, I can find games where my ping is between 90 and 130, and that is playable. Older games like Bad Comnpany 2, not so great. Server choices are limited so it's harder to find a good connection, I uninstalled it.
Oh yeah, no streaming video while downloading, or really anything else. I tend to download at night or when nothing else is streaming.
Me downloading Battlefield 3
It actually only took 36 hours if I remember
Torrenting 1.6 gigs right now, it will take about 4 hours while also browsing the internet.

CL has bad service. I've been throttled by them at peak hours  CL took over the ISP that was in my area before. They've took over tons and it seems like people get nothing but bad service from them. The U.S. has shitty net because of monopoly type shit that goes on.

As far as just your every day internet browsing, it really doesnt sound that bad.
I dont really ever download or stream movies unless its Netflix but mostly I just want to game. Moved in last night and Directv will be out today, I wish there ISP wasn't century link too.
