Never heard of an ISP do that. All that Virgin do if you change the MAC address connecting to the modem is change your IP address. Virgin are about the only ISP in the UK apart from Be / O2 who do not require a password to connect and use the cable modem for authentication purposes.

If you were to use the same MAC address behind multiple cable modems then you would get Virgin's attention.
