Getting free refills at restaurants?!?!?
I fail to see how any of those apply to uncapping your modem. All of these (aside from free refills) are modifications to a device that you wholly own. Uncapping your cable modem while may be technically legal, is illegal once you begin to receive bandwidth in excess of what you are allowed by your ISP.
Now, Free refills would depend on if the restaurant offered free refills or not.
If they did not offer free refills and they "Capped" the amount of pop you could receive unless you paid for more, would it be legal to go around the counter and pour yourself extra because you feel that you should be getting more?
