I have 4 broadband routers, and 2 cable modems. Every single one is less
than 1 year old, and also from several different vendors (Linksys, D-Link,
SMC). Not 1 of them has a 100Mb connection to the Internet. The ones that
have onboard switches are all 100Mb, but the broadband interface on every
single one is only 10Mb.

I have a friend who just got DSL service set up from SBC/Ameritech. The DSL
modem he was provided is also only 10Mb.
