anyone heard of a way to get past rr's cap?
it seems they have had a cap even though they claim there isnt one. 2mbit if anyone is curious in the rdu area.

Uncapping is not allowed and is not possible from your end. Read the editorial on uncapping.

We turned in the modem to Road Runner today . I have been trying out DSL up here and it is capped at 3 mbps as opposed to 2 mbps on RR.I am very happy with the speed on DSL (Frontier Lightning Link). Time Warner acted like they could care less that I cancelled service with them. Not that they should care, but I have been on RR since 7/98. Up until last August, the speed was awesome up here. Then the cap went in place.

dude - you're lucky. i just got frontier lightning link too. i live in south ga. and they have us capped at 1MB/S.

I did not think that Frontier had anything going on down there in Ga. There is a full bore battle going on up here now between RR and DSL. They are each offering half price service for several months and free installs.

it just became available like a month ago. i was on a waiting list for 7 months to get it. i'm kinda disappointed with it though. well, i guess i shouldn't say that, the only other options here are dial-up or sattelite. i have had both.
dial-up . . . . . . . . . . 3.5 kb/s
sattelite . . . . . . . . . 60 kb/s
dsl . . . . . . . . . . . . . 130 kb/s
i'm alot better off but when i see some of the speeds these guys in here have - makes it seem slow - lol.
