When you state something like this, you should know what you're talking about, not just waste time and space with pointless remarks... or you should read the posts more carefully
And if both accounts are on 20Mb/s and you are both hammering the downstream as the OP mentions.. Neither of you will get anywhere near 20Mb/s.
2 cable modems in the same address will share the same port. The port is likely to be around 38Mb/s, therefore not enough bandwidth available for you both to thrash your broadband
