You're right in the fact that you won't get downstream at 10Mbits flat out. This is because the modem can only send or receive, but not both at the same time.
The silver Ambit (NTL branded) modems have a auto-sensing full-duplex capable port that can operate at 100Mbps. In my case the WAN port of my router is only 10Base-T (half duplex) so for me I will have to change my router so the WAN port is capable of ayt least full duplex operation. I could further future-proof the router upgrade by making sure the WAN port is also 100Mbps capable.

I'm sure I've seen `34Mbps` on some data sheet. Ambit has since removed the information for the modem from their support site in favour of the blue modem that NTL are now using. (NTL 250). I'm trying to find this information again. This number of 34Mbps appears to have clearly stuck in my mind.
