if by standard you mean one bought direct from a supplier then no, but if you're in the uk its as good as a door stop as you can't connect it legally to any cable network in the uk |

i'd say no as they are rented off VM and not yours to sell, there may be some form of possession law that allows you to claim it as yours |

Re: Chipped broadband modems??
No matter where a modem comes from, even if you could sell it, it is a plastic paperweight until Virgin activate it.
Which they won't do unless they have issued it to you
