[HM] Cable Modem Speed

[TheCraigLaw at aol.com]

Hi, I have never understood the whole "data speed" issue with high-speed 
internet. Lately, however, I have been made aware that I may be getting duped by 
my carrier.

My cable modem info page says I am getting the following performance:
Maximum Downstream Data Rate :  3146000 
Maximum Upstream Data Rate :    256000  
    
Now, which of those figures do I use to compare my performance with the 
industry standards? Do I have 256k "high" speed internet, or 3.1mbps? Something 
tells me 256k...

Thanks,
