I don't know which bittorrent client you are using, but most all show their speeds in bytes "B" and most all cable companies advertise their speeds in bits "b".
8bs = 1B, so 2mb = 250kBs.
So if the 250 is kBs then you are getting good speed.

If you are getting 250kBs regularly, then the Bitlord is maxing you out on y0our connection.

I'll point out though that it is on the list of "banned" clients at many trackers.
