June 26, 200323 yr hehe. well maybe it was just a bad day or two?they cannot run like clockwork all the time dude..due to a high volume of users
June 26, 200323 yr Are you on cable?!Possibly someone in your area is downloading HEAVILY in our area and is taking some of your connection... Go sort them out
June 26, 200323 yr Author im using comcast cable, like most of the neighbors, but i think one of the neighbors is a pr0n fr34kill go sort him out
June 26, 200323 yr Possibly someone in your area is downloading HEAVILY in our area and is taking some of your connection... Go sort them out Or maybe somebody uncapped their modem
June 26, 200323 yr Lmao, yeah...I think its alot easier in the US, harder in the UK i think but i know someone who did it Got 2-4mb cable
June 26, 200323 yr WOW YOU CAN DO THAT????Yes, some modems can be uncapped... BUT ITS ILLIGAL as hell to uncap your cable modem! And unless your ISP is using equipment from the stoneage you WILL get cought and you will proberly face charges. Although modemuncapping will give you insane speeds (In my case 30.34Mbit vs my current 256Kbit) its not worth trying! ... The risk of getting cought is simply to great!how?!?!!?The trick is to fool the modem into downloading its config file from your PC instead of your ISP's config-server. Its a quite complicated process that can only be done on modem with a welldocumented securityflaw (also wellpatched flaw). Because if the flaw being so wellknown almost all ISP have updated their modems to avoid it, so modem firmwaredegrading is also involved.... and NO! - Im not gonna post links to how its done ...
