38Mbps for EuroDOCSIS

Actually, you've hit upon something here. As speeds get faster, more and more strain is going to be put on USB connections. The more data that flows through the USB port, the more work the processor has to do. If it can't keep up, then the data connection is going to slow down. It won't be long I think before NTL start saying that ethernet is *required* for connections above a certain level (and this probably isn't a bad thing).
