What say you Krom and the gang?

That won't really do anything, besides wasting your time.

I'm hoping it's clever satire.

I'm afraid not, there are more than one saying the same thing on YouTube.

I hear putting flame decals on your router gives you an extra 2 Mbps.

I'm on my way to Big Lots to see if I can find the decals you mentioned. I'm wondering if an Obama or Romney sticker would do the same thing?

Those will reduce your connection speed to 110bd or less...

Hey, my modem/router's hot enough temp wise to warrant putting flame decals on it.

Its nonsense, a proper cat5e cable that is manufactured to spec will carry gigabit ethernet with no significant loss, and that is easily 150 times faster than the average connection in the US. You can't make your internet faster by making the ethernet faster, the bottleneck is your DSL/Cable throttle done by the ISP.

The rating (thumbs up or thumbs down) is disabled, that means the uploader doesn't want to let us to see the a big amount of thumbs down on the video. We then ignore it and not want to waste our time. That's obvious. :\

EDITED: I hope I don't sound like a troll or something is rude.

By his logic, I'm going to start marketing 000 AWG Ethernet cables.

Except he is not connecting the cables electrically.

I personally think the guy is a genius...

...at YouTube marketing.

Think about it. He's gotten millions of views by making outlandish claims ("double your ethernet speed by twisting wires around!", "double your wifi speed by using a whisk on the antenna!") with a straight face. Ha.

I actually laughed while I was watching this. It looks like this guy is trying to monetize his youtube account by making all kinds of crazy crap up about stuff that people commonly get frustrated with in order to get page views.

Come on, taping two cables together? That's the same grade of logic as saying if a woman dyes her hair green while she's pregnant, her kid will have green hair.

I'm gonna go stick two CPU's together with used chewing gum and see if it doubles my processing speed! HEY IT SHOULD WORK RIGHT?

Nah, you gotta use epoxy.

Funny. I saw that if you click your heels together three times, you can go to Kansas. Really. I saw this in a movie.

I thought this guy might be a real MacGuyver, but I kept waiting to see where the rocket motor appeared, and I was ultimately disappointed.
