You can normally find out what rate the modem has synced to your ISP at - that 
should tell you the theoretical maximum raw throughput. It's normally obtained 
via a web browser but some modems can also be configured to provide it over 
SNMP.  

By the way your subject lines could be improved - they don't tend to be very 
descriptive :)
