Apparently he is correct.

My ParaDyne HotWire 6350 is just that, 10 Mbits.

Max Transfer Rate	 1 Mbps
Networking   Network adapter - Ethernet - 10 Mbps

But it also is advertised as 1 Mbps, strange...

Hum, the price is reasonable.  I currently lease this Paradyne DSL
modem.  Perhaps I will purchase a backup.

Glad I discovered this mii-tool in another thread though.  It's very
useful.

man mii-tool
mii-tool - view, manipulate media-independent interface status
