It's the ongoing over-reaction that's the funny part.
As a reminder there are tens of millions of homes with cable where once the cable reaches their premises the customer can do whatever they want with it and they run ok.
Employees seem to be getting more and more zealous, quite unnecessarily. The guy asked a perfectly reasonable question and it wasn't a precursor to stealing service, if he'd wanted to try to steal service he would not be using a CAMless cable card.

There are notched filters available that VM could use if they chose to - in many areas blocking everything bar return path and 295 - 343MHz downstream would be quite adequate. These could be attached at the tap of BBI only customers to ensure that BBI is all they get.
