That'll be the bullshit urban myth where you allegedly upload a file to
NTLs modem rack and it removes the bandwidth restriction.

Isn't it funny how these same people never seem to have it working?

Hi. This is my friend, Jack Shit, and you don't know him.

I have read documents on how it is actually done and in theory it looks like
it works.

In involves faking your CM into loading the config file from your local
computer via tftp instead of your ISPs servers.

I can't give any more info or links because I can't remember them.

The principle seemed OK for UK providers also, except that in the UK the
ISPs seem to make more stringent monitoring for this occurrances.
