hello /g/
I was wondering how internet speed works.
I have 50Mbits
how can guy next door have 20 ?
The things that flow in the cable are electrons.
You can't modify that by not modifying the cable first.
So is it in router ? If I buy faster internet will I get new router ?

The ISP sets the speed limit to your modem mac address.
Quality thread retard.
Try google next time.

No, it will simply not receive any connection because it doesn't have the same mac address and parameters.

So it is the rou- ehm modem.
Thank you anon
>>61218375
no it doesn't
You can change the router/modem, speed will be the same
The ISP set the speed at the node

Is that node directly connected to my modem ?

I guess each country have a different infrastructure.
but for sure, your modem can do nothing for speed, otherwise everyone were cheating

Yeah but when you change your modem you have to call your isp first for them to configure it with their parameters, if you try to connect a new modem without the knowledge of your isp it won't connect to the internet.

Not in my country.
I installed a new router without calling my ISP and without MAC spoofing, it worked like that.
Authentification is made though a PPPoE login/password
I don't know how it works in the Land of Freedom(tm).

I'm not from USA tho, it seems like my isp works differently than yours that's all.
There is a forum topic about the internet infrastructure in France, from ISP to the customers, from old cooper to new fiber

>>61218759

I don't know, but I have more

router != modem
>>61218843
yep, but who have separate router+modem anyway
every customer router and ISP router have a build-in ASDL modem
