So who on here has fibre op service and uses the acatel lucent modem? I have a theory I would like to test, but sadly I am not gonna be in a fibre area for another little while and dont have a fibre modem anyway. What i want to test actually got a friend more speed when i had him try it but it wasnt enough. I want to get the method down to completely uncap fibre. been studying fibre for a while now and find it very interesting in how they authenticate modems....well in my area anyway
This is the acatel modem with the Coaxial input and fibre input:

This is the one I'm more interested in

Why? well, the company around here seems to shut off all ethernet ports on the modem with exception to the one going to their router The Actiontec
Now provided they dont supply this one by default anymore and use a new one I'm sticking all my research around this one. Now, this router has a custom built Bell firmware on it, (irrelevant at the moment) what I have noticed is this. If you take the mac from the actiontec of someone who has a higher tier than you and make that the mac of your PCs NIC with <insert fav mac spoofing software here> then plug your PC directly into the ethernet port that is still functioning on the acatel, VOILA!!! You have a higer tier plan without even needing the actiontec....now some people have been cluing in they want to use their routers instead of the actiontec bell gives out and have been using the exact same method to do so, just spoofing the actiontec routers mac and plugging it in to the acatel.....anyway. its all good fun you can get the mac of others routers and uncap your service blah blah blah (just like DOCSIS....sorta) but I dont wanna stop there. I wanna say fuck the actiontec and figure more out about the acatel
So...to break it down
What I know.
1: They are disabling ethernet ports with exception to the one used by the actiontec. That one is always active
2: they are authenticating by mac address of the router and are limiting speed based on that
(Other areas they use a VLAN as well, but its possible to bypass that using this guide)
What I want to know
1: how do i manipulate the acatel and enable all ethernet ports
2: how do I get the acatel to stop authentication based on router mac and just give out the max speed possible
