Re: Using E Bay modems.
Kinda two of them! One a wireless receiver and downconverter, then the output of that fed into a normal cable modem

And what did this achieve? No sale was made by the deadline (no bids were made), so the seller re-listed and sold the item as "buy it now" for under a fiver (including postage). See 190246991900 at www.ebay.co.uk

I wonder why ebay cannot make blacklists of items. Problem I guess is how easy it would be to circumvent them, the .co.uk site could, for example, not be allowed to list anything that said "cable modem", or perhaps had the words cable, modem, virgin, and more in it, but that might then prevent the listing of say a router that you wanted to say was compatible with virgin cable modems and ADSL modems. Hmmm.

Let's face it - EBay get their money for listing, so there's little incentive for them to actively remove such items unless someone complains.
