20mb --> 50mb?

[italianguy]

Hi All,

I currently have a 20mb broadband line and was wondering if its possible to upgrade it to 50mb via any of the ways in this forum?

Many thanks in advance

No mate, stick with 10 or 20mb. forget 50mb unless your going to pay for it.

Yes, unfortunately you used to be able to run the 50 meg config and get a download speed of approx 35mbps, but it's had the kybosh now mate.

Pay for it or stick with 20meg!

thanks for prompt answers. I'll stick with the 20mbps for now as its a lot better than the 2mbps I was seeing previously :-)

will the 50mbps become more available when they start rolling it out in more areas do you think? i am happy with my 20mbps at the moment, but like all people, when you get used to something you want better lol

I doubt 50mb will be easily hackable at all im not saying impossible but highly unlikely as it uses DOCSIS 3 which employs the following techniques

128 bit AES traffic encryption;
• Early CM authentication and traffic encryption (EAE);
• Enhanced secure provisioning features:
• Source IP address verification (SAV);
• TFTP proxy and configuration file learning;
• MMH algorithm for CMTS MIC.
• Certificate Revocation;
• Update support of the CableLabs CVC Root CA and CableLabs CVC CA certificates for future
use in secure software download.

speciffically there im looking at the certificate revocation ability as even if you did clone a modem certs and everything firstly you would probably need physical access to the modem to do this and secondly the cable company can just revoke the certificates and issue the subbed modem new certs!
