If they decided to put together a software build for it, the Pace 4010 would work perfectly happily on Bromley. Once they've got Docsis STBs working, and if BBKing would allow them to be provisioned, and they put together a software build for it, there would be nothing stopping the 4000 being used on Langley either.

What i would like to know is what would happen if i plugged a samsung stb into langley area!, (eg, some horrible thing like a error message, it catching fire, blowing up, etc).
The cable modem inside it would try and register with the network, and the computer on BBKing's desk would tell it where to go. The TV part wouldn't work -- as far as I know the encryption scheme on Langley is different, never mind anything else. No fires, though.
