I appreciate the value of a good hardware hack as much as the next geek, but if you're using it to siphon huge amounts of bandwidth from your neighborhood node, that's a problem. Yeah, it's great to have m4d bandwidth, but you're really paying for a shared resource, and I think most people know that. Sorry, but there's very few things worse than being a weasel. and looks even weaker when the cable company tells my neighbors that someone in the neighborhood uncapped their cable modem. What am I supposed to do? Play dumb when they ask me if I know what's up with their slow connections? That's pretty weak. Plus, my neighbors know I'm the cul-de-sac computer geek, and they'd probably come to me if their connections slowed to a crawl. Why do this on a shared medium, particularly one you have to share with your neighbors? I like my neighbors, and I get almost 3.5 megabits down, which is pretty quick.
