This sounds shady to me i mean if you're a customer paying for a top tire internet connection that uses all the data capacity you line can give you how is it not affecting you when this starts serving other people?
The line must be able to handle more bandwidth but somehow i doubt ISP's had the foresight to leave some extra for just this occasion.
Is the router even capable of handling the extra load this would introduce? Most consumer routers are known for being under powered.

They probably don't provide such a service; few cable operators use the maximum possible bandwidth on DOCSIS3.
- anigbrowl 12y agoMost people don't run their connection at full capacity all the time. It's easy to conceive of a router that devotes unused bandwidth to public wifi but gives it low priority compared to requests from the lessor's wifi network. It's not like you have a router and are on the same wifi network as the people walking by in the street.
