Diablo321 Posted March 27, 2007 CID Share Posted March 27, 2007 When your connection is "capped", your internet provider limits your speed to control the amount of bandwidth you use at any given time. Usually, this is done by the firmware inside the modem. When he says "uncapped", he means to remove the cap and let you download at an unlimited speed. Afterwards, your speed will only be limited by the amount of bandwidth your internet provider has available. If you don't know the term capped, then I highly doubt you have the ability to reprogram the firmware of the modem. Also, being able to uncap a cable/dsl modem is so complicated, that I have heard of very few people that have actually gotten it to work.

rushonbye Posted March 28, 2007 CID Share Posted March 28, 2007 The way to speed up your service is to pay for additional bandwidth from your service provider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn0 Posted March 31, 2007 CID Share Posted March 31, 2007 Yes it is still illegal to uncap your modem even though it is yours. Same as buying a wide open cable box or satellite receiver is illegal. Mot to mention, your ISP will eventually figure out that you have changed the config files and bust you for it. So, it is just plain not worth it. Larry, have you tried all the tweak suggestions from TMN? http://www.testmy.net/t-2097 http://www.testmy.net/topic-1013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coknuck Posted March 31, 2007 CID Share Posted March 31, 2007 Use the file that the numbers match what your advertised speed package is. And reboot your computer after you save to registry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
