Cable Modem Speeds

[bettisfan]

I read somewhere that you can uncap your maximum rates. My service is 500k down and 128k up. If it is possible to uncap these speeds and achieve better. How does one go about this??? I'd love to have more speed.

not in US......http://www.speedguide.net/Cable_modems/index.shtml
you might find helpfull info there

[Infested Cats]

Why not in the US? Then whats it like in other countries?

Explain further!

[Yusuke]

AFAIK, you can uncap your modem in the US too, but it's not recommended to do cause the minute your isp finds out you uncapped your modem, they'll most assuredly kill your account (and they may even be able to do more to you with the DMCA and stuff)

dunno if i'm allowed to post this, but anyway...... http://www.cablemodemhack.com has some info and i think programs for uncapping some modems

Why not just stump up a few quid and pay like the rest of us ?
ISP'S are clever enough to see whats going on..
Just upgrade

not every 1 can afford to..

has any1 tried uncapping thier modems?

[Wizzandabe]

trying to now. using modem uncapper i found it on ft. dont no if it will work. I thought it was done at the other end. (isp's end)

[Icey]

thats wat i thought but obviously not.. i was reading the modem hack forum and they will b bringing out a new program soon.

it used to be really easy to uncap
before they updated their system software
they have tftp-enforce now
so we have to hope project fireball will help us uncap again

this refers to the NTL UK Modems



Edit :TYPO!

[lunatacs]

what's good websites that have programs that may help you uncap your modems besides the one Yusuke gave us before?
