Both of the DSL modems I've had, as well as both cable modems I've owned, 
and every DSL modem I've installed for other people have all had 100meg 
ports...either in a 4-5 port switch, or in the port that connected right 
to the PC/router/firewall.

Interesting.

As I noted, a few seconds ago, I'm surprised that the manufacturers are 
even bothering...I can't imagine that 10meg chipsets are that plentiful, 
anymore.
