The cons truly outweigh the pros and is not a recommended route to try.

Not really worth the time and effort involved because you would end up with no broadband connection.

wow you feel strongly about this .. personally, I don't care, if someone bricks it, ah well too bad, they pay for a new one, if they get it to work, good for them, they wont get a faster service (tier wise) so it makes no odds to us ..
I'd be interest to see any flashes that work ..
Saying that, I'd like to see one of these "flashed" modems, that give apparent free service ..
