Re: Third Party Cable Modems - Easy to Set Up?

It could be argued that it is contary to contractual law, but I would state, contractual law is a civil issue, and so, still not "illegal".
If you use a 3rd party modem and attempt to put it on the network then you are in breach of the terms and conditions that you signed and therefore acting illegally at which point they can remove all services and if warranted take you to court.

Apart from that the OP did actually talk about an Apple Time Capsule not a modem so you should all dismount from that high horse before you fall off.

Does any one have a step by step guide or point me to a post that has already covered. I think that when they guy set us up, the browser went to a Virgin screen and I tapped in my account, area and our pin and that was it!

Thanks in advance.
You would be better off recommending a replacement router.
