All it says on the bottom is NTL:200 along with the mac address. Maximum Downstream Data Rate is 20480000 in the modem config.
Having had a whole weekend to fiddle with their internet the speed they currently get is remarkably constant, the fastest I can push out of the modem is a speed roughly of 1100 KB, this maximum varies obviously depending on the site in question but I can never get more than this regardless of the time involved (getting up early on Sunday and doing some tests at 4:30 am gave the same results). This to me doesn't seem like something that would be caused by overcrowding because surely the connection would fluctuate performance wise.
Having checked the cabling the run from the wall to the cable modem has a fair bit of slack in it, certainly a couple of metres worth, it seems unlikely to me but could this be a problem?
