He was talking rubbish as that is not possible as the system would never allow it as it would not be in the inventory, and the is no way of adding it to the inventory.

The will be no stock of the VMNG300 as even technicians had to return any they had and are only given Superhubs to install.

A second modem will never lock on quite simply because we add the MAC address of your modem to the account and we then pair and provision it on the account.
