Sorry my bad, I checked and thats 4 mbps down and 2 mbps up that I am 
paying for.
My PC has "N" mode nic and I get 130 mbps wifi connection.
My www.speedtest.net test is 1.24 mbps down and .82 mbps up between 
Cleveland Ohio and Angeles City Philippines. My ISP is Comclark.com 
Angeles City Philippines.

So I come back to the question is the internet download speeds up to 38 
mbps and upload speeds up 30 mbps of the Motorola SB5101u cable modem 
acting as a bottleneck? Is there a better cable modem that is not 
limited I should be asking my ISP if I can use?
