That's.....odd.....

Re: Modem config files encrypted.
 

yes i removed mine in the picture i posted. and yes i knew a while back about them and WHY they have them

Re: Modem config files encrypted.
 

An encrypted config does not matter in the slightest, remember who I actually work for!

Re: Modem config files encrypted.
 

I have no issue with them because they are part of a bigger picture to try and upset and prevent the **** bag cloners from stealing service. They have no affect on my service at all.

The only people that need to be worried are those stealing cable

Play nicely people, and put the e-peens away.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about.

Virgin support didn't confirm or deny.

Re: Modem config files encrypted.
 

i am also on a DOCSIS 1.1 now and NOT 1.0

Time Not Established Time Not Established Information (7) We registered with a DOCSIS 1.1 config file!

PS i'm in Derby no 50mb here yet!!

Re: Modem config files encrypted.
 

Ben rightly corrects me on Customer Service issues as that is his job if I get it wrong and I often put that in those posts that Ben will correct them if required.

I am Broadband Technical Support and I know what I am talking about here is correct, if the config file is encrypted what bearing does it have on you as you do not need to be able to read it, I as a support agent can tell in seconds what speed you are on when you call in using my online tools.

All you need to see is the configuration file page as shown below, do you think the is a conspiracy going on!

Network Access :
Allowed
Maximum Downstream Data Rate :
20480000
Maximum Upstream Data Rate :
768000
Maximum Upstream Channel Burst :
1600
Maximum Number of CPEs :
1
Modem Capability :
Concatenation Enabled, Fragametation Enabled, PHS Disabled

Re: Modem config files encrypted.
 

oh yes :)

Re: Modem config files encrypted.
 

I don't want to read the contents of the config. so the contents have no bearing. I'm talking about the title. is it really that hard to understand even from the examples I've given?!!

Of course I don't think there's a conspiracy going on.
if I'm not getting the speeds I'm supposed to get. all I have to do is call in and ask you to confirm what speed I'm on!!!

Sorry about the excessive use of !!!'s :)
