The Daddy is an unknown quantity at this point
Just upgraded to 10Meg, however...

I have checked the cable modem page and it shows:

Cable Modem Operation Configuration
Network Access :
Allowed
Maximum Downstream Data Rate :
10240000
Maximum Upstream Data Rate :
512000
Maximum Upstream Channel Burst :
1600
Maximum Number of CPEs :
1
Modem Capability :
Concatenation Enabled, Fragametation Enabled, PHS Disabled

Now I maybe wrong, but doesn't this mean the upstream is only 512Kbit rather than 1Mbit? And if so wouldn't this mean there is no way I can get a full 10Meg? Currently I'm only getting about 5Mbit. .i.e

1st 512K took 743 ms = 689.1 KB/sec, approx 5678 Kbps, 5.54 Mbps
2nd 512K took 803 ms = 637.6 KB/sec, approx 5254 Kbps, 5.13 Mbps
3rd 512K took 812 ms = 630.5 KB/sec, approx 5195 Kbps, 5.07 Mbps
4th 512K took 716 ms = 715.1 KB/sec, approx 5892 Kbps, 5.75 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 5505 Kbps, 5.37 Mbps

Or have I got this all wrong

Thanks in advance.
