Is there somewhere in my settings that 70 might be listed as a max speed? And, pray tell, how do I change it?

Thanks.
What's your advertised download speed? What you're getting is just over 0.5Mbps.

I just moved from a pokey DSL connection to a 6Mbps cable connection and am enjoying download speeds close to 700KBps.
