    wrong drivers for your modem im afriad.

    your modem is connected to the PC at that speed. However, your connection to the internet is on the other side of that.

    try downloading somthing and youll see what I mean

    Its just windows reporting the port speed not the connection speed.
    There's strings you can put in to get it to tell your connection speed.

    Yes it is, calman. Try using the init string "W=2" in modem config window, that should report the true speed.
