Re: Someone correct me if I'm wrong. said by Lyserjic: Don't most (sensible) cable system operators have their subscriber bandwidth allocation controlled at the head end? Why would any cable provider rely on a flashed setting in the cable modem to control bandwidth?
Seems like poor planning on the part of the cable company.
That is just the way it works. It is up to the modem to do the caping. It depends on the modem brand as to how hard or if it is even possible for someone to uncap it. Another poster thinks that they had to break in to the company's servers to do the uncaping. This is not the case. If the modem can be uncaped you can do it will just the equipment in your home. |
