Ok, dont worry about 10mbps.

Your STB is pumping the "feed" through at 1mbps, so if you imagine ..

NTL >>>>(1mbps)>>>>STB>>>>(10mbps)>>>>YOURPC

So you see.. the connection is 1mbps through a 10mbps line so its speed isnt affected at all.

If your PC was showing 2mbps, it would still run at full speed. Its just the link speed of the NTL device. People have problems when their ethernet cards think the NTL box runs at 100mbps, im not sure why but im guessing it causes authentication / collision issues along the ethernet connection.
