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.

comcast regular cable. my speed is like 1.5 megabytes/sec, but it my dl speed is never at that speed
I'm on comcast regular cable too. But they quoted me a speed of 1.5 mbps (megabits/sec, not megabytes/sec.)
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.
