It seems to vary with the location.

Mom's system is in Lakewood on a /27 subnet.  Her download speeds range from 70 to 130 KBps.

My older brother's system is in Arvada on a /21 subnet.  Downloads from Microsoft and Netscape yesterday ran at 13 KBps, while some other stuff came in at 40 KBps.

It's interesting to me that - before the switch from @Home to attbi - they were both 24 subnets.

Based on this rather small sample size, I'd guess that AT&T has some routing/equipment problems (rather than a general download limit of 13 KBps).
