only one modem can have a certain IP address so a cloned modem gets a different one.

I suppose the conclusion might be reached by a lot of people who are tier hopping, i.e. paying for the lowest tier and using a cloned modem for 20meg to cancel the subscription altogether due to worries about the BPI.

although the BPI sends an IP address, how do VM convert the IP address to a customer? First they'd need to check the dhcp records which no doubt would match to a MAC address, they then check who has the MAC address on their account.
