Capping bandwith? More speed?


Recommended Posts

My friend briefly mentioned something about "Capping a cable modem" from his tone it sounded illegal :shifty: and plus he said you could be sued... so umm Im not planning to do it, but anyone know what it is? And out of curiousity, how it works?

Yes, it's illegal and before you ask, yes, it's relatively easy to detect. The term is "uncapping a cable modem" not "capping a cable modem". You "trick" the cable modem into giving you additional speed by sending it a custom made configuration. (It's slightly more complicated than that, but it's little lengthy to explain in full). There used to be (so there probably still are) directions on how to do it on the internet.
