Optimizing Your Cable Modem: Hacks for Better Internet Performance

When his cable modem service seemed to slow almost to a crawl last spring, Matthew Hallacy did like most people and complained to technical support at his Internet service provider, AT&T Broadband.

When his cable modem service seemed to slow almost to a crawl last spring, Matthew Hallacy did like most people and complained to technical support at his Internet service provider, AT&T Broadband. But after the sluggish performance persisted for weeks, Hallacy, a Minnesota-based software engineer and networking expert, decided to take matters into his own hands: he hacked his cable modem. "Tech support told me it wasn't their fault and the service was going as fast as it could. So I downloaded the specs for the modem off the Web and started poking around to see if that was true," said Hallacy. It wasn't long before Hallacy, 21, devised a trick for modifying an obscure configuration file used by the service to control the settings in his 3Com cable modem. A few tweaks later, Hallacy's $50-per-month service, which had been downloading data at a poky 75 kilobits per second (Kbps), was sweetly humming along at much brisker speeds in both directions. The link for this article located at Newsbytes is no longer available. . Discover the methods used by Matthew Hallacy to enhance his cable modem performance, optimizing sluggish internet connections and circumventing imposed service restrictions.. cable modem hacking, network optimization, performance tuning, configuration tricks. .
