You be highly unlikely to get any gain in bandwidth by improving your cabling.

Your bandwidth is governed by your ISP.

Are you refering to my quote of getting a few more Mb/s. If so I will qualify it. My ISP supplies ADSL-2 which can be around 19 Mb/s. I get a maximum of about 8Mb/s. If I improve my cabling I may get a better signal but of course that is not necessarily so.

However the quality of the cable will most certainly affect its signal carrying bandwidth. I have spent a lifetime with RF transmission lines and their losses.
