Is it posibble??

[mikachu]

Is it posibble that ISP lock my modem so i only can get 64 kbps?
Im using cable modem but its very slow
i never reach 64 Kbps
my max is only around 30 - 40 kbps
If my ISP does that can i patch or unlock my modem so it can get the max speed??
Please help me
Thanks

Basicaly, the way cable works is as a shared bandwith. So the more people on your subnet, the slower your speed will be. Normally Cable is caped like the dsl modem. I mean they dont go faster than a specific speed. But that speed is faster than what your getting. To know if how many you are on your subnet, just get an IP sniffer program and scan your subnet. This should give you how many user are online at same tiome of you... actually the number of user sharing your bandwith.

DSL doesnt share the bandwidth BTW so you get a stable speed most of the time!

You can also do some reg fix to upgrade your max speed!

Bandwidth for DSL is shared, just not at a remote location like cable does. Instead of aggregating bandwidth from the signal amp at a pole to any given number of nodes in your neighborhood, DSL does it at the central office of your telephone company. The only benefit of DSL over cable when it comes to this, and this being the sole reason why DSL may be more "stable" than cable, is that when existing capacity is becoming inadequate for the existing number of nodes in any given circuit, it's as simple as to add additional circuits to the pool of DSLAM's in place, and perform load balancing to eliminate existing congestion. With cable, more trunks needs to be put in place in your area to allocate bandwidth properly, which can prove to be more costly to do, not to mention more tedious.

========================================
Not so. For a DOCSIS system you only need to add more upstream and downstream channels. This is done by adding a card to the CMTS and a little configuring. This is all done at the head-end, no reason to modify the cable plant.

The ISP said " 10 MBps "
I know its share with other
But how can it be?
I mean 10 MBps is quite big but i can even got 100 Kbps
Im online 24 hours aday still i never got more than 60 KBps
Is everybody in my country using same ISP downloading something in the net 24 hours a day too? So they must share 10 Mbps
I dont believe that
Theres some one here telling me that the ISP is limitting the speed of each account
How can i break the limit?
Is there any prog that can ?
Plz help

Well actually 10Mbps is what the modem can support... actually they dont provide you that speed yet because of cost... like to get that speed now, with our technology, it would cost you around 300$ a month to get to that speed. So basically thats why speeds are caped.

Go to the tweaking forum and you will be able to get some help tweaking . Which may increase your speed for you. GoodLuck!

[mikachu]

I already using all the tweak and the prog i can found in speed guide but still i cant improve my speed.
This is really dissapointed. At traffic time (09.00 - 20.00) I only can get 3-5 Kbps.
This is cable modem and its really making me nuts.
How does this work? I mean where or how the ISP set the maximum speed for their user?
My fastest speed is only 50-56 Kbps
And it only can access at 02.00 - 05.00 AM
Plz im very thankfull for any info
