Is there any ways to improve the speed of cable internet service? I have Comcast 6.0mbps internet service. I have ran speedtest.purdigital.com test and my speed range between 2.13mbps to 3.83mbps. Many say that is my limit but I don't buy it. I know that cable connection speed can depend on how many people are also in your area are on the network.

I have heard that you can buy ethernet cables that can improve line quality-is this true? I have done some registry tweaks but is there anything else I can do with my registry to improve speed? I also hear that having a network router can greatly increase high-speed internet connection- is this true?

I have a Motorola cable modem from comcast and I don't know the model number but are there better cable modems available that will improve speed of high speed connection? What else can I do to improve my connection speeds?

Huh? How do you upgrade the quality of your cable? Do you mean upgrade to higher speed? In my case that would be 8mbps but I am not willing to pay that price and barely even get half the speed with the current equipment that I have now. I rather try and get as much of the speed that I can get from my current High speed connection. I am thinking of getting a better modem and I am researching right now. Any other suggestions from you guys?

Can a router help increase my high speed connection speed?
