Is it possible to make cable internet faster?

[Stupid]

I was just downloading some HL2 videos and wandering if it is possible to make cable internet faster without upgrading to T1.
b/w I use a regular comcast internet.

yes its able to make it "faster". you can increase the rwin and mtu. go to www.dslreports.com and on the left side click on tools, then do the tweak test. follow the instructions there after. generally speaking you wanna set your RWIN to 64240 and your mtu to either 1492 or 1500 depending on what you have..... go to that site, it'll explain EVERYTHING.

well it's not really 'speeding up your cable' but rather optimizing your system to receive the cable at its optimum level
