Streamyx line uncapped - Part Deux
Further tweaking late last night, I managed to squeeze more out of my rusty copper phoneline that runs the TMnet Streamyx ADSL service…
Now my downstream speed is 4,736kbps (that’s slightly more than 4.5Mbps) and my upstream speed is still at 832kbps (that’s around 0.8Mbps)…
Speedtest last night shows that I’m closer to the speed I used to get while in Tokyo:
Is this for real? Go figure…
Just gotta love tmnet! (never thought I’d ever say that ever in my lifetime 
)
P/S - Don’t bother asking me how to uncap your own ADSL line, not on the comments below, no e-mailing me, no IMing me about it… and if you do doubt my line speed, then just believe it’s all photoshopped

Dear Auyong,
How do you uncap a DSL line? Could you email me some instructions — i’m currently using their RM66 package at home. Thanks!

wtf?!wat the heck did u do with StimX
connection!? NO FAIR! I want that speed too!

Holy Shit/Speed!

If it could happen in “INTI” connection, would be much better and lovely. ;p

this is one kind of uncivilised malaysian behaviour imho. be thankful what u already get, man. just remember, ur action might affect other streamyx users.
just my 0.02cents

Thank you hafiz for your advice… I’m thankful indeed, and I don’t go around sharing this recipe since it would mean disaster to other users, you inclusive

Yeah. Like you could get caught. Doubt you will anyway, judging by how Our Beautiful Nation Works.
Good luck with it anyway.

Myko Hein, 19, uncapped his cable modem last month because the service was too slow for his liking (he was trading software in chat rooms over the ‘Net). It took AT&T Broadband only 6 hours to discover his hack and disconnect him from the service for life. The company considered his act “theft of service.”
Hein’s message to other users: don’t do it, ever. Hein’s father is even restricted from using the service, and is not able to telecommute any longer. IDSL, the other high-speed alternative, is too costly for them at over $100 a month.
The process of uncapping a cable modem is typically technically involved, requiring the programming of a DOCSIS configuration file with a special editor, putting up a TFTP server, changing an IP address, and running a DHCP server to trick the cable modem into pulling the config file from a local host. Although some parts of the process have been automated, there are still many hitches … but that’s about to change.
OneStep is described as a 30 megabyte monster of a program that rolls up all of the tools needed to perform a cable modem hack into one utility and hides them behind a point-and-click user interface that allows the user to select his/her cable modem make and model, service provider, and new speed (up to 10 mbps). OneStep is headed up by a well-known member of the underground superbroadband world, an unemployed American programmer who heads a how-to chat site and has headed up several publicly released automated uncapping tools. This programmer, who goes by the handle “DerEngel,” states that smart uncappers know how to avoid detection.
AT&T Broadband spokeswoman Sarah Eder stated that the company would not have terminated Hein without warning unless there were aggravating factors, but one of the consequences of uncapping is service termination. Another factor to consider is the anti-social aspect of uncapping, meaning that one person using too much of the bandwidth during peak hours could cause bottlenecks for the rest of the users on that node.

sounds like bullshit to me. The only way you can uncapped ADSL is if you have someone working at tmnet to configure the DSLAM that you’re connected to and uncapped it. Besides, the DSLAM link to internet gateway is only a 2Mb link.
Most likely, you’re using some kind of compression program to create the illusion of having wooo “awesome bandwidth”.

hansw: That’s for cable modem. streamyx using ADSL. Hence, it’s quite impossible to use the same technique you posted above. The bandwidth for streamyx is controlled at the DSLAM side, hence only an ISP admin can do that.

hansw, what ngising said is correct…
The uncapped service is not due to me hacking the service, unlike cable modem 
ngising, it’s entirely up to you to believe me. I may have excellent Photoshop skills, but how far you wanna believe me or doubt me, it’s up to you
Cheers

hans, ADSL downstream is 8Mbps, upstream at 1.5Mbps if I’m not mistaken.

You want an uncapped Streamyx ADSL? Bring RM1000 and go to the Streamyx signup counter at that IT place in BB or the other IT place in Bandar Sunway. Ask the technician for ’special installation’. Fine. Mystery solved. Now I’ve gone and spoiled it for everyone. Yeesh.
October 14th, 2004 at 3:51 pm
After checking with my sources, unfortunately, you’re right. One uncapped DSLAM can reached up to 8Mb throughput. So, your screenshot might not be false at all. Anyway, just to remind you, this is totally illegal and if the employee is caught doing that (uncapping), he/she will be terminated ala Donald Trump’s “You’re fired!”.
October 14th, 2004 at 4:13 pm
think about it, if I really “engaged” the services of a particular engineer/technician, do you think I would openly tell the world, or at least the blogosphere that I got it uncapped?
October 14th, 2004 at 4:17 pm
sigh… the green monster came out to play…
October 14th, 2004 at 6:06 pm
hohohohoho ;p Boo!!
October 14th, 2004 at 7:47 pm
let me guess… you combine multiple connections together?
October 14th, 2004 at 7:48 pm
let me guess… you combine multiple connections together?
October 14th, 2004 at 7:55 pm
Sure why not… do I look like I’m so hungry for bandwidth that I multilink connections and pay more?
October 14th, 2004 at 9:02 pm
you are great.

Hello i have been uncapping docsis for a wgile not for theft of service but for the knowlege of it. i wish to learn the adsl systems what kind of network they work, any way around the login of some isp’s etc their is much i wish to know my mail is secure ssl so noone will read it. as soon as a message is sent through it is ripped from the mail server and sent to me even the mail server doesnt have the cert for it. and please as i am into networking/uncapping/hacing to see if it can be done. no offense but a picture doesnt do it all for me i have achieved a quad WAN cable connection with each modem opened to 38/10 and got amazing speeds. around 40MBs. maybe we can trade information. i code in assemble/java/c++/python so i may come in handy for trading. i know you are morethan likely going to write some rude comment to me and i know i am doing the opposite of what the orriginal post states but i do wish to learn as that ios the only real power in this world(knowlege)
thank you either way

can you teach me to uncap cabel modem. line so suck but i have pay for using it. home user at japan got 2meg and still pay below price for us using in malaysia. hope u can teach me.
September 24th, 2005 at 7:39 pm
wow, i can smell the bull shit from here in australia…
cable modems can be uncapped because they are client site configgerd speeds, however, adsl speeds are capped by the DSLAM, which’s max client speed goes up to 8/1.5mbps
ADSL2+ only has 24/8mbps
tweeking does not do sqat to your BW limit
you know how i know for shore? simple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4241kbps translates to around 530.125kbites/sec, not 520
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and i realy don’t think that a peace of software such as that would have made such an error in calculation

I’ve seen this screen before, on my own PC that is. This happens when you use XPeedometer and refresh the test, sometimes it just loads plain flat out of the cache. That would give you the I-don’t-believe-it reading

Have to agree with Mandrake.Try this yourself.

Wait and let the test complete.Press back once and see.
