Speaking of setting modems....
I got a way to change the speed of your service through the config files of your modem
(But, myself, I pay for 1.5 mbps, and I get, ehh, 1.5 mbps)

On my connection thingy at the bottom of the screen it says... Speed... 100.0 mbps, Sent.. 8003 packets, recived... 11071packets

cat 5 is OLD. at min you shoul use 5e. cat 6, 6e and 6a, are the best thats readily available. use cat 7 or 8, if you can find it. but good luck.
