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?

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

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

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

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.
