I have a linksys cable modem and would like to know if there is anything I
can do to get more speed from it. Does the cable company restrict the
bandwidth.

Yep, you might check with the ISP to see what levels of service/speed
you can buy.

Yes, by commanding the modem to do so. It's in the specs and
in the executed design, so there's nothing you can (legally) do about
it. Bandwidth costs money, how wide do you want to go?

I ask myself that very question every time I eat at a buffet. :)

Yes. With DOCSIS modems, the cable company can easily specify bandwidth and
will often offer different service levels for different prices.

Yeah... width costs money in a lot of ways.
