Agree.. &nbsp;You will never see 10 mbps out of a DSL line anyway.. &nbsp;If you need better speed, you will need to upgrade your connection. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
If you have a cable provider in your area, you could go that direction, as they provide much higher bandwidth. &nbsp;Or even go with a dual setup, using both Cable and DSL... &nbsp;With this type of setup, you get redundancy from your connection in case one goes down, and more than enough bandwidth to suit your upload and dnload speeds.... &nbsp; I use a Xincom Dual Wan router for my office, and am quite happy with it. &nbsp;Sure beats the cost of a T1...!!<br />

BTW: &nbsp;no way for you to configure NIC connection speeds on that modem.. &nbsp;don't even bother with trying, as these are hardware, not software settings..<br />

We have an interoffice network that runs at 100mbps. &nbsp;We always thought that the internet connection (through a DSL modem) was slow. &nbsp;I took a laptop and connected directly to the DSL modem, sure enough, 10mbps. &nbsp;Connected it back to the router and 100mbps. &nbsp;It is a Fujitsu DSL modem and I haven't been able to figure out if I can configure other settings on it yet.<br />
<br />
Is it possible that the only link speed that it operates at is 10mbps?

DSL Link speed only 10mbps

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).
