So we went out to get some cable higher than 750MHZ, unfortunately the cable frequencies were unmarked, so we ended up buying Radio Shack's best cable, the Fushion AV.
However that doesn't seem to be the case... Performance is the same.

Unfortunately the answer is no...
The download speed on many P2P systems depend on the upload speed of all your sources, and the sources you get depend on your priority level based on how much and how fast you upload.
Some systems such Edonkey employ u/d ratios. If you are uploading below 10 KB/s ...

Yeah, but the strangest thing is the upload cap has been raised, but not the download cap... They say a situation like this is very odd, because the Pro boot file contains both the upload and the download.
If the modem is not using the Pro boot file, then the upload cap would have remained at 256 ...
