Re: Are boxes allowed to be sold?

I can confirm exactly what CF Rob, has said about selling these boxes, and someone was arrested, basically this is theft, which is a criminal offence, when you get these boxes, it clearly tells you in the contract or what ever VM send you, that the boxes belong to the company, and cannot be sold.

Re: Are boxes allowed to be sold?

You know, when NTL/Telewest/Virgin/anyothercableco decide not to pick up boxes upon boxes, its easy to imagine the accumulation of boxes that are available to tinker with.

just a thought.

When phorm/webwise comes along, anything they don't want to collect, I will turn into a flower-pot.

Re: Are boxes allowed to be sold?

Well I've got a modem here for you and will have another modem and pace box if they take up phorm. Maybe you could start up a Garden Centre.
