Where can I find more information about uncapping cable modems or any broadband modem for that matter?

What is the highest speed provided for a home broadband user in India? Is there any service provider providing speeds in *excess* of 512kbps for sub-Rs2000pm like in the US? If not, how long do you think it will be before our download speeds exceed 1Mbps without a significant increase in the current tariffs?

But how is the capping done , do they use some specific software etc.

IS there anyway to find out at what speed my net has been capped.

he means the download cap that u have on the net connection

basically suppose u have mtnl triband and the dsl 399 plan
in that u get a 256 kbps line
and 700mb of free downloads
thats called a cap
anythign above it u will be charged for .. at 1.20 per mb for mtnl triband

basically means limitation
