Don't bet on that JustAnotherN00b, unfortunately from what I've seen it's not at all "next to impossible to change a MAC address on a modem". I am totally against it and I don't want to go into details of how it could be done but I am sure others here can confirm that stealing bandwidth is possible and unfortunately it's not rocket science how to do it.
All the other comments look funny to me when at the same time I am reading about addresses trade. And as what it could be done to secure them or how to offer a very good service it's not really my problem is it? I am the customer not the service provider and I can see other companies having no traffic caps but providing a good service compared to the standards of NTL at least.So why would I choose NTL??
