Cable Forum - View Single Post - just what sort of speeds could NTL provide

If the modem has a 10Mb ethernet port, then 10Mb - USB is about 11Mb. That's quite often the limit of the current hardware, even though the cable itself can deliver way more. The bottleneck isn't necessarily in the most obvious place.

STB 150k is indeed 256k, but they're all going to 300k soon so that difference disappears.
