Then again perhaps this cloning is a different method to the one I have been told about.
Mac addresses are unique to the equipment and not a particular area. They identify that piece of equipment, the manufacturer, model No, etc. When NTL receive a batch of new modems they each have their own unique mac address and could end up in any part of the country. I have had batches of equipment arrive with mac addresses all being quite different from one another, not sequential numbering.
