It all depends on what your house/whatever's plan.

More than likely your plan is 8MB/xMB up.

You can't just install a better modem expecting increased performance, since most modems CAN perform at double/triple the speed of the plan you're on.

No you can't steal his connection, it's wired to the house not an address.
