CS don't put it into the system.. the engineer doesn't put it on the system... it is done during the registration process. The modem is checked, mac identified, and if it is not in an AOL range, it will not register. simple as that.

Other than the name on the outside of the box there is no technical need to send a new modem.

Yes there is... see above

Can NTL match the AOL deal? 1Mb connection @ 24.99 but no CAP? Do CS have that power? I know Orange used to price/tariff match.
I'm currently on 2Mb @ 24.99 - been a BB customer for 4 1/2 years. I see BB as an unmetered comodity - flat fee - no limits - no worries. The last thing I want is having to check an app to see my monthly usage.

Ntl might give you a special offer but they won't give you 1meg uncapped....
btw have you had AOL before? if not you might find it an... err... interesting (!) experience!
