as for owning modems, you can buy cable modems brand new from the manufacturer, NTL arent the only supplier of CMs worldwide. its perfectly acceptable to use your own equipment with their service, just needs a bit of reconfiguring to pick up the correct TFTP addresses etc.

It's not illegal However it is against NTL's terms and conditions.
So you do risk losing your service if NTL find out.
However, technically, seeing as the other bloke sold a modem he had no right to, you *are* handling stolen goods, which is illegal.
