ebay ntl modems for sale
 

I have seen modems on ntl for sale. now i know that the current ones won't work if you purchase them as they are tied to the subscriber but i have seen the old motarolla modems that in the old days you had to purvhase to use broadband. If i purchased one of these could i use it at my address as from other threads i have seen customers who purchased the motarolla get a £5 discount off their subscription. I look forward to all your replies

Nope.

If you purchase the modem it will be an expensive paperweight. You won't get any new features with it and can't register it to work onto your account.

nope

they need to be provisioned with ntl, and if you buy a 2nd hand modem you won't be able to convince anyone at ntl to do this for you, and you certainly won't get a discount.

ntl only offer rental modems to new customers now.

^^^^^^^^^


as above :nono: , it aint going to work , forget it ;)

Re: ebay ntl modems for sale
 

i know that the new type modems wont work but even the older motarolla surfboards wont work?

Re: ebay ntl modems for sale
 

listen carefully , ntl wont connect it up , you will get no service , it will be an expensive decorative item of little use , got it now :erm: :)

Re: ebay ntl modems for sale
 

ntl could make it work, but the price of the sacm is so low that it makes zero sense for them to, and even less to give a discount.

in short, don't buy one!

Re: ebay ntl modems for sale
 

fair enough. no need to get stroopy. i have a modem supplied with my subscription anyway. just thought i'd check as my friend had a motarolla from the early days of ntl broadband and he's been able to move it from house to house and he saves £5 a month. just thought i'd ask as theirs no harm in asking

Next time he moves it will lose the £5 discount

Re: ebay ntl modems for sale
 

a fiver a month discount is a lot for owning a piece of kit that probably only costs a tenner... :)

Re: ebay ntl modems for sale
 

if that was directed at me then i wasnt getting stroppy ;) , just a case of trying to get the message across :)

Re: ebay ntl modems for sale
 

fair enough but as with telly I don't believe the first thing it tells me i like to get it confirmed by several people first then the odds are the information is correct. Wasn't trying to be ignorant, just trying to make sure id put my info across proparly. thanks everyone for your replies

Re: ebay ntl modems for sale
 

They cost a bit more than a tenner when he bought it ;)

Re: ebay ntl modems for sale
 

If i remember rightly at the time it was somewhere between £100-£150 oouchh:Yikes:
