Anyone missing the point that most CMs and STBs ntl use only have 10Mb ethernet ports? There's your downstream limit a lot of the time.

I've run an STB at 10Mb down/2Mb up and a Terayon (which I think has a 100Mb ethernet port) at 20Mb down. Wouldn't recommend it though.

Upstream the theoretical maximum is probably the upstream channel capacity (2.56 or 5.12Mbps depending on area).
