I am only getting connected at 38 to 40 Kbps. Just trying to figure out why?

It is because you live a long ways from your internet providers office. The closer you live to them the better the connection. :)

There is currently no standard for cable modems in the cable access industry. As a result, there are many competing proprietary products. Cable service, speed, reliability, setup and configurations may vary significantly from one cable companu to another. Currently, the most common cable modem drands are from Cisco Systems, 3Com, Com21, Bay Networks, Motorola, RCA, Toshiba and Terayon.

It could be.
There might be a degredation of the signal quality resulting in lower quality phone line. thus when the modem is "handshaking" the error ratio was too high at full speed so it dropped to a lower speed.

nope. i have to use 65 feet of cord and it is still as slow as it would be if it was 2 ft of cord.
