I mean I know i'm on the 2MB service and I get that in every speed test. I had a call last night from ntl offering me 10MB with a 75Gig cap for 37.99 but I see most of you ain't getting it so I don't want to pay extra if I ain't going to get the 10MB!

So I was wondering before I order if it shows the max speeds on the line?
The modem page will only show the maximum upstream & downstream rates for the service you are on. It will show the same info for all 2Mb users (2048000 down 200000 up), and for 10 Mb users (10240000 down 512000 up). You will have to run a speed check to see what actual speeds you are getting.

Did ntl just call you out of the blue, or had you already enquired about the upgrade?
