In a way yes. I see your point, but that wont happen! it never does. how many vm engineers do u know of that have / will d/c non used coax lines? its costs vm time and money + potential customers not getting thier line conected due to engineers sitting at green boxes d/c non offical lines
ive not long moved into my current house with cable in, this house has been empty for over a year! yes the cable for VM was still active and Access points all over house in each room for cable/ tv.
I know of over 30 people that have not got a current subscription with VM and are using flashed modems and other forms of boxes for tv, and quite frankly i dont blame them. No restrcitions, no outages, nothing!
I was thinking of grassin a few of them up but im not even going to waste my own breath telling VM.
Untill VM actually start delivering a decent service then they can go whistle. AS other people have stated in these replys, what do VM actually want as proof that people are using forms of equipment to obtain services they havent paid for??because by the looks of things all this advert is about is calling peoples bluff.
I also have had a letter stating about using a 3rd party box, i then rang up vm and said ive recieved this letter blah blah, come and check my house. they said sorry, it was just a warning letter stating what could happen etc.
vm do provide a decent internet conection yet thier traffic usage is Crap which sits next to the Steaming pile of crap which is called Windows Vista, ( But thats another topic).
What do us the loyal and frustrated customers get for reporting these ILEGAL crimes? jack didly squat no doubt.
And they think that by shoving people on to docsis 3 will help them prevent reflashed boxes working on thier network . HA dont make me laugh
There has been awork around this for years.
ohwell we all live in hope that VM will be the daddy of all BB in the uk
.... One day with better prices & better traffic management
