I was kind of thinking your post was of interest, and then I read the above.
I'm going to assume you've never actually attempted to get this information from Virgin Media, or any other ISP, simply because you can't request the uBR in a court order. You are asking for customer details based on a tracked event which has provided you with an IP address, that is all you can reqeust under the data protection act, which is what a court order actually is in these cases.
You also make an assumption that VM "don't" check for a possible clone using the uBR, that's why you ask for it? So how would you know if that IP on that uBR was a cloned modem, if at all?
I'm not having a go here, but I am uncertain you fully understand what you are talking about.
But thank for the insight into your investigations.
