mmm interesting thread.
1; regardless of cost it doesn't make it OK to rip off services.
2; ebay is monitored by ntl security
3; MAC address have no bearing as the chipped boxes have no return path.
4; "most" chipped boxes are sold by installers, and they are contractors who are poorly paid, treated with contempt, and have no reason to show any loyalty to ntl
5; If you are "offered" a chipped box it is your duty to take his number plate/desription and either inform the police and/or ntl. The people on this forum will be the first to complain when the service is not up to scratch (and rightly so) but you have to help. I have a friend on Telewest who was experiancing very slow connections etc. It took Telewest 6 months to track the problem down, the problem turned out to be 2 chipped cable modems in the same house, both operating at 3meg and at full tilt constantly downloading films. My point is all theses dodgy boxes do affect the quality of service.
6; Every chipped box endangers the existance of ntl, therefore endagers my job and my ability to feed my children, SO REPORT THEM!
PS; Spread the Love!
