While working at Arris (formerly LanCity) I'd heard from one of our
SQA engineers who is tight with the guys at media one that this has been
upped to 512kbps. Can't verify that this is true though... at least not
without making a phone call that I'm too lazy to make! :) I think this
may actually be location-dependent.

It's largely irrelevant anyway since the pipe on the RF side of the modem
is at most 1.5Mbps, so either way you've got a TON of wasted bandwidth.
Note that the modem will DO 10Mbps both directions, but MediaOne throttles
it down.
