I don't even think you can do it - the cap is set hardwareily (I made up a word!).

I doubt you can - if you can, I'm sure it's glaringly illegal.

Then you dont need to know how to do it :p

Its not something that you can get away with. Your isp will call you up and threaten you.


Its simple though, a little software change.

/edit/ WTF!!! xfire sigs are too big!!

What does broadband uncapping do in the first place?

With a boradband connection, you can only go so fast, because of the bandwith caps. Remove them, and you go faster.

I've heard there is a way to do it without drawing attention from your ISP. You just have to keep it under a certain limit each month, provided you can find out what it is. Depending on your ISP you might get one or two big downloads a month at uber speeds. Not worth the risk.

WHAT THE FUCK! FUCK SIGBOT! I'm boycotting fucking signatures, that's bullshit.

Dude even if it is possible to do with out getting caught. A little extra speed is not worth the possibility of time in jail.

you can uncapp it, but the company knows if your going over the cap, becasue they monitor all that stuff, and good luck at getting your broadband back.
