you will be able to download at 120k/s but if you are downloading 2 files it will be more like 60k/s each so on...

Hey !

I'm a bit late on this one ...
I found that before on www.surfboard.digitallinx.com, but they seem to be down just now ( wonder why ), and i didn't write anything down, nor downloaded some stuf ... sniff ....

And .. I would like to give it now a try !

Just for the fun, not to stay online at new spped without paying 4 it ... really ...

Anyway ... i'd just like to see these famous jpg files with the settings on'em !

tftpd32settings.jpg
tftpd32before.jpg
tftpd32after.jpg

That could help (i think !) ...

If someone could post a link quickly ...

posted this about a 18 months ago on AF watch yourself with this one the denial of service letters will be in the post and do you really want to go back to 56k.........
thats what you have to ask yourself good luck to anybody who can get away with it.

sure some guys on modshack got caught for this ages ago(allegedly)have a wee check on there and ask about to see if its worth doing remember 2mb only 50 quid a month its not that expensive just that the up on its shit.

2 things... someone said NTL don't log how much you download - thats complete bull tbfh dunno where your friend got that info from but NTL have a 1gig a day cap which can be seen in there T&C near the bottom and if they have a cap = they can see how much you download... also manic said about how "adsl is shit" that totally depends on your ISP I've had a 2meg adsl with bulldog and its cheaper and faster than blueyonder's cable version I had for a year or two ..

how much are you paying a month, shame you need a bt line and have to buy a modem, i understand you get no web space or mail accounts with the standard service

Maybe it depends on regional services.

I have had 1mb NTL line for over 2 years and I ain't no lite user and downloads could go on non-stop for days....so far, I don't see any capping on daily download.

**hxbro** · 7th April 2004

the cap is a soft limit not a hard limit, you suddenly won't find yourself without service if you go over the limit

**whatabody** · 16th April 2004

right im a new member on here but ive had my sticky fingers in cable modems 4 ages uncappin is very dangerous yes the cc's can quite quickly trace u as uncapping works by stealing bandwidth from other modems on your node so when peeps start phonin up n*l/tw sayin their broadband is runnin slow the cc will do a check on your node then go through the task of tracing ya. Now the interestin bit u can clone a cable modems mac address onto another modem. it works by usin a prog that scans the dhcp server for mac address' then u clone a modem that has the fastest config onto your existin modem (FFS dont play with ya subbed modem buy an n*l120/200 off ebay as these r the easiest to hack if u want more info pm me) the cc's dhcp server then recognizes the mac address an sends the appropriate config 2 that modem

so in tw areas u can get a nice 4mb connection an n*l ares get a not so bad 3mb an the cc have no real way of tracing u
