What is your Isp's Advertised speeds?

Uncapping is not a good idea because you really wont get away with. You will just end up in a box with big men.

There is ways to gain maxium performance of your DL/UL Caps by downloading registry tweaks.

Try Posting on the tweak section of the SG forums and Mnosteele52 or Lobos more then likely will help you get maxium performance on your Caps by Answering These Questions From Mnosteele52

The answers to the following questions are very important when posting asking for assistance, if you answer them accordingly it will save you and us alot of time in helping you get your connection optimized quickly and easily.

1. Download CableNut.

2. What type of connection do you have? i.e. 56K, ISDN, DSL (PPPoE or not), Cable etc.

3. Who is youe ISP and what is your advertised speed from them? i.e. Cox.net & 3000/256 - this is advertised in kilobits per second. If you don't know your caps please provide us with a link to your ISPs homepage.

4. What are your current settings now? Do a TCP/IP Analyzer test and copy and paste the results (remember to XXXXX out your IP address) here.

5. What kind of speeds are you getting now? Do 10 speed tests from Speakeasy (choose the location nearest to you) clearing your internet temp files prior to each test, and give us the average of your top 5 tests. This will give you a good baseline to go by but remember speed tests are not 100% accurate.

6. Please tell us your operating system i.e. 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2K or XP.

Thanks riderGZ. I appreciate your advice and suggestions. I am new at this and I didn't know that the phrase "uncapping" had such an illegal connotation. I would never do that intentionally. I just want to get the max performance with what currently have - within the law.
THanks again!
