<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">With the old IDE ribbon cables they pulled a trick like this. They were 80 pin cables but only 40 were used for data. The other 39 wires were called "earth" wires, or grounding wires.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">Also, your throughput is limited by your ISP. I have 15MB cable. Nothing I do on my side is going to boost my speed because there is a switch somewhere in the ether that knows my MAC address and limits it to 15MB.</p>
