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

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

You can update back to the original firmware.
