Too much upstream. Help!

I have insight@home. I had to switch modems as my first one got damaged. It took almost 2 days for @home to provision my new modem. Finally I called my local cable co and they pushed my MAC through the system and I was connected within 30 minutes. Problem is the cable guy said I should take my new modem back for a replacement since it had an upstream problem. He never told me what my upstream was he just said it was supposed to be capped at 128kbps. He said when @home audits my modem that they would disconnect me because of the fast upstream. I told him I would cross that bridge when I got there.

Out of curiosity I checked my upstream at Pitstop and wow it ranges between 700 kbps and 970+ kbps!

What should I do, take the modem back to CompUSA for an exchange or just wait until @home audits me?

Just keep it .When they notice they will cap it at that time. They will sooner or later. Plus it's not your fault its theirs. If you are worried call them.
