|  Looks like a good way to get your service canceled
And possibly even charged with Theft of Service. It seems to me that the cable company can easily tell that you changed your caps:
Terayon DOCSIS Cable Modem: HW 6.1; SW 1.7.3
Downstream channel ID = 5
Downstream channel frequency = 645000000 Hz
Downstream received signal power = -9.8 dBmV
Upstream channel ID = 2
Upstream channel frequency = 22992000 Hz
QoS max upstream bandwidth = 1000000 bps
QoS max downstream bandwidth = 10000000 bps
SigQu: Signal to Noise Ratio = 30.8 dB
Cable modem status = Operational
Upstream transmit signal power = 34.0 dBmV

| I could see having the cable company cancel your service, due to violation of their AUP. I would imagine that most have a clause similar to the following:
The Internet is known as a "shared resource", and Road Runner accounts operate accordingly using these resources. Excessive use or abuse of these shared network resources by one customer may have a negative impact on all other customers. Misuse of network resources in a manner, which impairs network performance, is prohibited by this policy and may result in termination of your account. This includes, but is not limited to:
Running any web, FTP, HTTP, chat, nntp, mail, DHCP, game, Gateway, proxy or other server from home, regardless of content or purpose.
Consistently using an excessive amount of bandwidth, as determined by Cox Road Runner personnel.
Circumventing their speed caps would probably constitute "misuse of network resources" in some manner.
BTW, the above AUP comes from Cox Cable Road Runner's pathetic service in the Northern Virginia area.

currently i have 2 cable modems and i am going to shut off the srvice and still get cable. heres how it works. i buy a modem. tell the tech support that they gave me a new modem tell them my new mac adress they ask for the ols one to cancel it out. i tell them a wrong number. they cancel out a wrong number.they still think i have the original modem when actually i have both. now ive canceled the service and the modem that i bought still works. so if im not there cusotmer and they do NOT know customers mac adress. when u call them. can tehy find out who i am? or where i live. i belive they could cancel the modem out but thats the least of my worryies. i only want to change the unbearable u/l speed. |

| I think you'll find it works the other way around... If the cable company sees a modem with a MAC address that they don't know about, they'll disable the modem.
