@Home and the UPLOADS.

[Pneumatic]

Well, as all of you with @Home know we have been capped on the uploads. I hear that some of you out there haven't had it implimented in your area yet but the email that they sent out said that it was a Nation wide cap that they were implimenting (so it's comming). I have heard that there is a way around it, but I have been unable to find it. What have you heard?

Mine isn't capped (yet), but it's not something that is done on your end and you can't get around it. A good friend of mine is a Tier 2 tech with them and gives me the scoop on what's going on, so I'll try to keep you all updated.

That would be cool! Thanks! I am not planning on doing anything against the rules of @Home, but when I upload stuff to a server I hate the fact that it takes 20 times longer than it does to download the same file. I wish that there was a way to turn it off to transfer a single file at a time (or something like that). They just unilaterally clipped our speeds with no regard for those of us that were not abusing it. When I signed up with @Home, the upload speed was one of the things that helped me make my choice. Now I am locked into a contract and am unable to change.

Kindness, see my post in the Soap Box about upload speeds and download performance.

MAN! I KNOW THIS PISSES ME OFF. I HAD BEEN A HAPPY UNCAPPED CAMPER UNTIL THIS MONDAY.

on the bright side, my downstream has never been better.

I wish they would cap us up here! I have half to one third of what some of you others are getting for bandwidth speed tests (in the other thread) and I have @home cable. I almost never upload, as I have no website.

Bohrn,

Capping will do NOTHING for your downloads, which are probably already capped or at least balanced.

Others,

There is a way to uncap your uploads - IF and ONLY IF the capping is done at the modem. For example, on my old Media One account, the capping was set at 500kb upstream, capped at the modem. There was a simple little program that I ran which spoofed the ARP in such a way as to make the router think that the extra packets were coming from somewhere else.

The program was called (don't bloody censor me or nobody will be able to find it):

****UPC

It was specifically for LanCity modems, but there was another version for Motorolas and a third for 3Coms, and probably more of them by now.

A correction. I shouldn't have said "if the capping is done at your modem". I meant if the capping is done via the router/modem collaboration (where the router tells the modem what cap to set).

Odds are, though, that this is how yours is done.
