Anyone know of any really good sites that will tell you how to cpmpletely uncap your modem. I know that you can get tweaks and shit, but i am looking for the maximum bandwidth possible.

Uncapping is like stealing, actually it is stealing but hey, go along for the scenario. You uncap your modem once, you don't get caught. You think, "Hey, this is great shit." You do it again, and just skimp past the heat. Now that one was close, but do you stop? Nooo, of course not. The the third time, they trace you and send a police officer to your house with a warrant, a citation, and order you to turn over your system. Then after a short jail sentence and small $10,000 fine they put you on probation where you aren't allowed to touch a computer, or the intarweb for any reason. Are you ready to risk all that trouble just to download porn and stolen music in a matter of seconds?

He doesn't want the common sense answer, he wants the (im)practical answer.

if i wanted a lecture from someone about consequences, i would've called the ISP. There's no point in posting to act like a badass and putting the fear of god in my eyes. I didn't ask for what could happen.

Why bother asking if you know it's illegal. You should know that we wouldn't help your cause.

Man...am I ever bored...3 posts in one day... :P

I'm guessing that he's like other souls who think we're a source for obtaining illegal information and/or tips and tricks. Again, we're not. Try some 'technical' website if you really must.

I don't encourage it, but use google to find that type of stuff.  It's the internet, a good search engine and/or knowledge of boolean operators can find you anything.

I never said that you said that you wouldn't. Having said that, I say the hell with saying what everyone else said unless saying what you said is also saying what I said, but it isn't since you said something other than what I said. Right?
