The speed increase is possible, for sure, as long as you're close enough to
the DSLAM.  We have an 11Mb/s DSL option here, but it does require improved
hardware (ADSL2+).

The modem wants a password for management; you'll need to google for the
default modem password for that particular model to be able to start management
without the CD.  Using the modem manufacturer's CD allows an easy setup for
Windows, typically, and walks you through the install, but it's very rarely
actually required, unless it does have a firmware update on it.
