But to initiate a broadband connection, the modem MUST communicate with NTL - who surely have some means of banning lost/stolen modems?

Simple answer

Yes there is and yes we do. :)

Thank you for alerting us to this seller. Appropriate action has been taken by eBay.

well, the auction's gone, but has the user's account been removed too? I didn't get to see the auction (although I understand what was on offer) so didn't see the user's name to be able to verify. Hopefully they've been terminated (in the Schwarzenegger style) :D

I was told yesterday that a service tech ( former seinor ) from Belfast has resigned over alleged fraud, and a manager has been suspended , pending further investigation. Wonder how they will get round to blaming the contractors on this one ?

They removed the item yesterday. Even emailed me to tell me that they had done so (rather than the usual "thanks but we can't comment on what we have done...").

I have found a way to fool the cable modem system, and possibly get the wrong tier (havent tried going this far) I am planning on ringing ntl tommorow and reporting what I found, will tell monkeybreath or some other ntl staff in pm what I did if they wish to know.

Is that fake or real? If its real, how does it work? NTL control the MAC addreses dont they?

its illegal mate their known as clones & if you use one your breaking the law. i was gonna say report em to eBay but it looks like someone already has, i recently reported someone for selling a Sony VTX-S760U (i have one) as they'd brought a Sky + remote & were claiming that its a Sky + receiver, Sony never made Sky + receivers, so its very misleading.
