Tech guys Ethernet not make faster internet

You could have a T1 line, meaningless if you don't have the proper plan. If you have basic internet that tops out at 10 to 15 Mbps that's the most you'll get (in reality probably less). Cat5, Cat6, doesn't matter. Google is your friend.

yeah i only got 10 for my shitty internet. So theres no way to get higher? i need it to be 25 for a job i got. the provider only says its 10 so im assuming it wont get much higher.

If you pay for 10, you probably get 12 max.

Yeah, pay for more bandwidth. That's it.

Yeah.
The only difference between a CAT5 and CAT6 is you can send more data CAT6

Unless you're a serious gamer (or streamer) you don't need more than 40 Mbps

I have 500 Mbps but that's because I'm an IT Operations Analyst that works remotely these days and my company picks up the tab.
Even if they didn't pick up the tab I could write that off as a business expense.

Well if you can't do/submit the assigned work that would probably be a clue

Sounds like only AT&T can provide service for you. They have the worst download speeds.
Change providers. Someone should be able to provide you with better speeds than that

not that I know of unless you keep dropping zoom calls and they ask for proof or you submit your bill for reimbursement and then they see your ghetto plan

but seriously how much could it possibly be to upgrade?

Sure, many ways.
For openers they can check with your content provider (Comcast, Optimum, etc)

Call your cable company and ask them about different internet speed plans and just upgrade (as mentioned earlier)
