This will become a short tutorial on how to achieve higher bandwidth on a residential (german) Vodafone DOCSIS internet connection.
A flaw in Vodafone's modem activation process allows for simultanous operation of two modems on one contract:
- Vodafone-owned CPE (e.g. "Vodafone Station")
- Customer CPE (TC4400, Fritz?!Box 6660, etc.)
On a low-loaded DOCSIS 3.1 segment, I am able to achieve 1900 MBit/s download and 95 MBits/ upload bitrate by bundling both modems using MPTCP
