Jon is correct- the speed is determined via the modem. Back when
excite@home was compromised by adrian lamo, I was privy to such access as
well. On the computer havoc.corp.home.net there lay the 'help desk'
interface, where the users settings were editable. I distinctly remember
the speed being an editable option for the modems. However the only way, to
my current knowledge, it to edit this information on the ISP side- still. I
remember a while back when faster transmission speeds were achieved via
just plugging in a 100 base t nic and setting it to full duplex, but this
is not the case anymore.

As for current hacks for cable modems, there are a few that I have
discovered specifically with comcast.net

However this cannot be disclosed at this time. I will post it at a later date.
