i dled this cable modem hack thing from suprnova, it says that you can uncap ur modem, and i'm using a motorola surfboard, and it's supposed to work with the hack. uncapping it will give it the speed that the modem will physically handle, and that is much faster than the speed ur ISP gives u. i have a few questions:
1. Really important!! Will ur ISP find out?
2. Will they sue u and will anything bad happen?
3. Is this guarented to work? (misspelled)
4. How fast can a uncapped motorola surfboard go?

IF THIS WORKS, THE P2P WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!
so help me out
thanks people

i can post it in the verified if u want it, but u must answer my questions
thanks

Personally i wouldn't do it.

My upload got capped.

Called them, they uncapped me.

Yes, they probably can catch you.

They will terminate your connection if they do.

Worth the risk? :unsure:

1. They can.
2. They can, though most likely warn you and then perhaps shut you down.
3. Can't say, I wouldn't f**k with my own ISP like that.
4. Might double from what I've heard.

abu_has_the_power

if they can catch u, and screw u over, y r so many people doin it, and many people are dling the hacks, don't they know that their isps will rape them?

and yea, i get these blocking messages from my firewall that come from client.attbi.com
that's the isps thingamajig

so am i blocking the isp from accessing my comp? if so, they what is the harm of uncapping my modem if they can't find out?

Funny thing is I have 3-4Mbps, which gives me about 175-350KB/s, what more do I need at $30 per month. I consider my ISP's a hero for this service at that price.

Now if I was paying $50 per month for a 0.5Mbps line, I might think about it. Although I would still advise no one does this.

Comcast - They will terminate your connection. Or worse.

What's your problem with 1500Kbps?

Even if you get uncapped, you will not be able to download faster on kazaa unless you find a reallllly fast user. Even after you do, you will not go over 500Kb/s.

My isp cap = 10Mb down / 1 Mb up

I get 6.5Mb down 960 Kbps up.

So I take it you max at 800KB/s down and 125KB/s up.

What company and how much per month?

Curious.

Who do I have....
Gotta keep taht a mystery for the moment though its a big company and happy its not Comcast, those guys are f**king assholes. Although as I said 1.5Mpbs at $45 is a bit of a jip, though I wouldn't f**k with them.

Thought you got it...

so wat's ur highest dl speed? mine's like 300kb/s, and u said u have 3-4megs/sec

Actually if you had 1.5Mbps you max KB/s should be 1500bps divided by 8, which equals about 180KB/s. If your getting 300 your doing well. Also keep in mind my general average is at about 200KB/s.

:angry: Lucky bastards with your fast-ass internet connections. My connection is about 300k down and 100k up. Or something like that. :unsure:

But it's still about 10 times faster then dialup so not that bad. :shifty:

My friend uncapped his modem and it over heats alot so he got a little mini-fan to keep it from over heating.

yea, i know some dude who did that, but i think he got caught, and probably sued for making his speed 50mgs/sec, rather than regular cable, which was what the isps ass rapers gave him.

I'm on comcast regular cable too. But they quoted me a speed of 1.5 mbps (megabits/sec, not megabytes/sec.) :P

Considering TCP/IP overheads, min+max packet size, and other issues which can cause that 1.5 mbps to be used up quicker than you might think, getting a 160 KB/sec download out of a 1.5 mbps connection isn't as bad as it sounds...

Btw, my cablemodem only has a 10 mbps ethernet LAN connection on it -- so even if I DID uncap my cablemodem, my connection TO it would still be limited to 10 mbps.

Im with blueyonder in the UK with a poxy 1meg connection. Its a package deal for cable TV and net connection (motorola 4100) and they charge us £48.50 per month once VAT (tax) is added (robbing bastards). The service constantly has problems and all traffic per user is logged through their proxy. They rent the IPs on a 24 hour basis and assign them per user.

I would get caught if i did this and I suspect you would too. I have no idea what the consequences of that would be, or if it would even work under these circumstances.
