Am i correct in assuming modems are authorised by MAC address for use in a particular area or something similar?
If I had a problem with the supplied device, would they authorise the address of my spare?

If you have a problem with your VM supplied modem, they are under an obligation to repair or replace it for free.

In fairness to ebay, when an auction is reported, they do usually act quickly. Trouble is, they don't seem to police the site beyond reacting to reports.
