You need to check with your cable company.
They send DOCSIS standard updates that do fun things like throttle down the bandwidth and tag your packets.

But I think a provider there has taken the revolutionary step toward DOCSIS 3.0!
See DEFCON 18 materials on custom firmware for modems with 3.0, that you can use to TEST connections, etc.

DISCLAIMER this is no way a suggestion that you steal any services or otherwise misuse the acceptable use agreement,
Linux is fun to configure on everything and this is yet another example that will allow you to learn. We don't learn to hack, we hack to learn.
You can update back to the original firmware.

Someone asked a question about living in Cottonwood and I lost that
email. I have a ranch just outside of Cottonwood I spent summers and
most of the summer up there. So if that person still has a question
about Cottonwood, or PageSprings, or Sedona I would be glad to help
out.
Thanks
