Moving onto the speed issue, have a look at this news item from VM:

It states:


The Ambit 200 may indeed be DOCSIS2 capable but as the underlying network doesn't run DOCSIS2 today it doesn't make any odds. It just happens to be a newer, more capable modem. Also the maximum downstream speed of both DOCSIS1 and DOCSIS2 is 38Mbps under perfect conditions after removing the DOCSIS overhead.

If you're trying to run 20Mb you'll be better off with an Ambit 200, 255 or 256. For a while there was a method for getting a self install swap out through the website because that's what I did. I can't find it now though.
