You haven't heard of any that support data rates that high because none 
exist.  The current limit is 30Mbps (actually just under 30).  I have a 
General Instruments SB1000 and the highest rate I've had so far is 1.14Mbps.  
The rate is dependent on the bandwidth available and bandwidth doesn't seem 
to be that great.  I usually acheive rates greater than typical ISDN though.  
My connection is limited to 10Mbps as is most in the US.
