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
