Chipped broadband modems??
 

I was browsing eBay and came accross this....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...718586598&rd=1

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

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

If it is real, how it works is something that will not be discussed here.


Whoever is selling it is surely breaking the law, and is definitely encouraging those who buy it to violate their ntl contract & steal services. Anyone who uses it will be obtaining services they are not paying for, & so is a thief. Also, if someone were to use an uncapped modem, or chipped modem, etc., I'd hope that ntl would not be unaware of it for very long.


That link should be reported to ebay. I think ntl also have a contact for things like this? (I'm sure they do for reporting chipped STBs, anyway).

Reckon he is just trying to make a quick quid before crimbo.
Cant see how it can work due to the mac addy.

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

Yeah, i was also thinking the same thing but hmm, maybe someone who works for NTL probably knows.

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

Done.

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

*sigh* chipped, ya right, could have at least made the scam convincing.

I know *exactly* what this scrote means by that and it's really a bad idea as it's both eminently detectable and pleasantly illegal.

[smartarse] You know what they say about people who talk to themselves ;) [/smartarse]

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

I wouldnt touch one of those with a bargle pole.
£150 !!!

Illegal and a rip off !!!

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

Yes it means that the only way its chipped is my sticking a Macdonalds Potato Chip to the modem.;)

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

lmao, eBay still haven't got rid of the item...

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

Whats a Bargle Pole!???????:D

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

someones bound to buy it

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

The same person selling that modem bought this

but sadly also bought a

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

Gone now.

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

I can understand the idea of hacking a digital STB, so that (until they change something) it receives everything available.

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

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

Simple answer

Yes there is and yes we do. :)

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

There's a LOT of information in that sentence. You just have to look for it

:D

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

And the answer was yes there is and yes we do :LOL:

Sorry but i dont see how much more i could have said. :)

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

;)

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

Which usually means sod all...:rolleyes:

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

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

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

True.

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

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 ?

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

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...").

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

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.

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

They proberably know about it already :D

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

yup... go on then :) I'm not going to say anything about it on here, but drop me a PM instead ;)

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

Seen one at the car booty on sunday

but think about it, It wont last forever they will start sending spiks down the line ! :erm:

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

bump, or what......... :D

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

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.

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

erm, you are replying to a three and a half year old post..........:D

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

yeah i know :D good old days init

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

lol oh well :dunce:

btw is it illegal to sell a standard cable modem ?

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

if by standard you mean one bought direct from a supplier then no, but if you're in the uk its as good as a door stop as you can't connect it legally to any cable network in the uk

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

I'm not to shaw about that the-cable-guy :)

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

i mean NTL/Telewest/VM modems that they have failed to collect from their ex customers & are not modified/hacked in anyway.

You're not the only one, kitkat!
I've noticed that he mutters under his breath a lot and his table manners are frankly atrocious.

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

You'd have thought that after so many nibbles, she'd have put on some weight...
:naughty:

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

i'd say no as they are rented off VM and not yours to sell, there may be some form of possession law that allows you to claim it as yours

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

No matter where a modem comes from, even if you could sell it, it is a plastic paperweight until Virgin activate it.

Which they won't do unless they have issued it to you

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
 

haha p*sser :p:
