Can i plug in my old modem?

Guys,

I have an Ambit 255 modem from VM which they didnt take back when i moved home. Can i use this modem and my new modem simultaneously?

Or will VM charge me for using the old modem?

Cheers

The old modem will not work as it is not on your account, would make a nice paperweight though.

If you need more than one connection buy a router.

As already stated, the old modem will not work as the MAC address will not be registered...
