So I actually have questions along the lines of my cable modem. It's a Scientific Atlanta WebStar (BrightHosue service), and after looking into some research on my Cable box (to TV) I just decided to google my modem as well, and saw a few forums that mentioned uncapping. Now, I got the jist of what it is... I think. In a nutshell, it's deleting/enlarging the restrictions of the modem, right?

I don't want to know how to do this, as I think it's illegal. But why would it be illegal? Someone 'stealing' bandwidth? Has anyone ever done this? Guess I'm just curious about it. Thanks.
