Can my internet be faster ?

I think my internet could be faster, here is my bandwith test results:

Bandwidth calculation is measured against that of CNET's Internet Services. Bandwidth may be higher or lower depending on Internet congestion. Calculated tests do not reflect server reliability and speed.

I have sbc dsl hooked up from a speedstream 5100 modem to a 2Wire Homeportal 100 hooked to a Linksys 10/100 5 port hub connected to my computer and another computer in the room. The router is also connected through HPNA to another computer in the house through the phone line. Is there any way to make this faster then I have it now? Thanks

Some will say go with cable to see a faster speed. For downloading large files there are bit torrent type programs to speed those up. The real gain is seen more as a result of having no one else on at the same time. Both your own ISP's and some web site's servers are not bogged down.
