unfortunately yes, I don't think it can handle 30mbit for one (and if it can, it defo can't handle 50mbit) and secondly, 30mbit it on docsis 3 and the ambit 256 isn't compatible so there is no way it is going to work.

Tbh dude I would try and twist things around to your advantage. You are you going to have to pay for a modem eventually so why not ask them if they'll give you one for free if you pay the extra few £££ per month and go straight up to 50mbit. This way you are still paying for it, but the cost is spread out montly plus you are benefiting from the extra speed.

I know it sucks ass, I had the same thing when 50mbit first came out. I had to pay £50 or the modem and then another £30 just for a flipping engineer to bring it round and watch me plug it in.
