Even my wired connection would go to crap, and I have a 50mbps connection which is fairly beefy compared to most peoples home connecton. It almost seems like the actual bandwith being used never really matter, it was more about the number of connections, if 5+ things were actively downloading/seeding, even if each one was only 10kbs, my whole internet would go to total shit.
I use whatbox.ca and it runs me $15 a month, which I think is pretty reasonable. The speed is amazing, I get my full 50mbps when I FTP files from the whatbox server, and the whatbox server itself is nuts, I don't know its max speed but it'll regularly snag 2-3GB video files in like 20-30 seconds, and then being able to FTP at full speed, I can get files to my PC a lot faster than using a torrent program on my home PC(which would usually max out on most connections around 3-4Mbps.
I also justified the cost by dropping all my movie channels off of my DirecTV, that saved me well more than $15 a month, and I can still snag all the shows I watch within minutes of the broadcast completing.
Now, I will say that FTPing files from my seedbox to my PC at 50mbps totally shits up my home internet as well, but thats so blazingly fast that it's only for a few minutes at a time until the file completes.
