What will my average download and upload speeds be if I have charters up to 10mbps?

im getting this package from charter tomorrow and I’m just wondering what kind of download and upload speeds should I expect?
No way to tell, since the speed of a download depends on the speed of the path between your provider and the server you’re downloading from, and the provider has no control over that (it’s determined by all the routers on the internet). If the server is close to your provider’s POP (place where they enter the internet), it could approach 10mbps. If it’s distant (over about 100 miles), it’ll seldom exceed 600kbps. But you could do 16 simultaneous downloads at that speed with a 10mbps connection. (IOW, my wife plays WoW and uses Skype at the same time. I’m doing downloads, watching something on YouTube or abc.com and using the phone [which is VoIP over the internet connection] and everything is going at full speed. But no single connection is using more than about 600kbps bandwidth.)
Unless you do a LOT of things simultaneously, any speed or lag problem you see won’t be due to your connection. (You can always check that at http://www.speedtest.net/ )
