View Full Version : Need advice for removing broadband caps
I need some advice on where i can find a way to remove broadband caps to increase conn speed. I am running 1.2-1.4 mb/s down on good days but when its busy weekends its gettin real slow 600-800 kb/s. I host a server on a game often so its a problem. I have heard of remarkable speed on my cable isp by removing caps. If anyone has any advice i would aprreciate it. I have tried a few of the downloads from this site but it hasnt done much good. Im near illiterate comp wise so i need help!!! Thks,
A
Welcome to Major Geeks.
We ask that you not cross post. One post in one forum is plenty. Trust me, someone will read it. :)
I just thought I would share one of many articles about uncapping, especially after the new cyber crime bills have become law..
FBI Arrests 17 for uncapping cable modems (http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2002Nov/gee20021122017460.htm)
With most ISP's its really not a good Idea, but if your really determined to uncap the procedure depends on the brand of cable modem you have. Most can be uncapped with only a small amount of work.

Dont play with it, cable company will catch you.
only way you can legit do it is with an uncapped cable connection. depends what the provider is. my server had a cable conenction with potential for 20Mbit but only when its needed. maybe you can get a simelar deal
