How do I figure out if my internet speed is fast enough for my modem?

    Hi. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me why my 'test' speed says a download speed of 232Kbps and an upload speed of 175Kbps and I have a 512k modem? Shouldn't the download speed number and modem number be about the same? Thanks in advance! (sorry for being clueless...)

    the modem does not determine the speed as your internet provider does depending on what data plan you selected.
