    the speed is set at your provider's servers not the cable modem. tamper with the modem could cost you net access & money.

    You would need to get an upgrade on your service in order to increase you speed all-around.

    If one of your main issues is with surfing there was a tutorial listed in the site about increasing the speed of Fire Fox for explorering the net.

    If you're more concerned with downloading speeds:
    Make sure you have ports opened for programs you want to use for a better connection and transfer/download speeds
    This site may help you figure out what ports are need:
    http://www.portforward.com/cports.htm
    Find what you're using on the list and open the port or port range listed for the correspondign program

    If you have a router, this tutorial will help you to open the ports and forward them to your router:

    I hope some of that helps you to get the maximum use out of your connection as it is right now.
