You are not uncapped...no modem is "uncapped",  You have just been given a better performance tier (or bin).  Enjoy your new faster speeds nonetheless....

That's awesome. The only thing that I wouldn't like is there is no definite speed. The speeds vary.

that is an interesting little diddy..   Have you seen an slow down like under heavy usage periods?   The entire point of the caps is to keep bandwidth usage under check and to make sure that there is enough on each node..  I will have to check it out the next time i am at home..

Why not try the TCP Optimizer and go all the way up the speed bar. It might be interesting.  shocked
