You would normally also need to authenticate onto your ISP's network, a
function previously performed by the modem. Unless you connect a router
behind the modem to do the PPPoE authentication you will need to do this at
the PC.
This should ensure that my IP will not change.
There is a possibility that you will pick up a new IP address if your
connection resync's.
All I want to do is to run a test speed from: testmy.net
I will be *really* surprised if you see a difference in speed in any way
attributable to the change you want to implement at the modem.

I just changed the MAC and I got the same IP from the shaw modem but you are
correct the speed did not improved I got only 4Mbps down.
