Re: Capped by modem?

Bandwidth is not a QoS. Traffic shaping is different from packet labeling for prioritizing.

Still, the hard cap set by the modem would be raised and traffic would be managed by the network, no?

Re: Capped by modem?

Modern DOCSIS systems don't rely on a modem cap, so to answer your question... no.

Re: Capped by modem?

Essentially unused in most cable deployments now. All speed-related configurations are at the CMTS headend now -- they control it, not your modem.

Speed are as follow...
Since they are antipeers or antisharing upload will remain the same however.

12.0/384
16.0/768

This will boost your download speed @ 4.99 bucks for 24hrs period
if you need it for 10 days, 50 bucks is good money for Comcast revenues

FIOS will probably have to boost their cap after this! woohoo!
$$$

Don'tyou just love capitalism? I mean. corporalism.

Yes, managed bandwidth on the network-side. Still, that is called traffic shaping, not QoS. QoS is Quality of Service, not Quantity of Service.
