On both cable operators in the UK it has worked some to a lesser
degree than others. On BlueYonder (all SB 3100/4100 type modems afaik)
you can uncap fully as when you decode the DOCSIS file the key is left
there for all to see. With NTL the other main operator they seem to do
things a different way and don't include the key, but you can login to
there TFTP server, download there 'gold' service and use that.

BY are clued up on it, soon as they detect the modems been uncapped
you get a warning how you breached there AUP.

Thanks,
