100 Mbps works for short distances only, not for cable internet.
Huh? The Ethernet protocol standard says that 100 Mbit ethernet and GigE should work upto 100m. If they don't, ask for a refund. This has nothing to do with "cable" Internet (which by definition needs a coax cable and cable modem, not a switch/hub).
If you mean that the local cable operator is trying to be cheap and setting up an unmanaged hub instead of running a proper LAN which is limiting the OP to 10 Mbit/sec half duplex, that would be correct. Getting rid of the hub would solve that problem.
