Simple answer
Yes there is and yes we do.

Thank you for alerting us to this seller. Appropriate action has been taken by eBay.

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
well, the auction's gone, but has the user's account been removed too? I didn't get to see the auction (although I understand what was on offer) so didn't see the user's name to be able to verify. Hopefully they've been terminated (in the Schwarzenegger style)

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
I was told yesterday that a service tech ( former seinor ) from Belfast has resigned over alleged fraud, and a manager has been suspended , pending further investigation. Wonder how they will get round to blaming the contractors on this one ?

They removed the item yesterday. Even emailed me to tell me that they had done so (rather than the usual "thanks but we can't comment on what we have done..."). |

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
I have found a way to fool the cable modem system, and possibly get the wrong tier (havent tried going this far) I am planning on ringing ntl tommorow and reporting what I found, will tell monkeybreath or some other ntl staff in pm what I did if they wish to know.
