If you know of any instances of this actually happening then please report it to Virgin as it is an illegal practice, or is this just another wind up but for the install techs this time!

Nice one mate, just be careful of the legal side of working on VM property.

I usually ask for a tech to come out so he can help
Ironically we have a local VM tech who sells cable boxes/modems, reported him endless times and VM have never bothered to stop him.

Re: Virgin Media - Two Cable Modem's
i dont know if you lads just read from a script but in student city i have seen 2/3 even 4 modems in 1 house from 1 cable all working all paying bills, and in the terraced streets in our area it is very,very,very common to have two propertys off 1 drop. a normal install nowadays can consist of V+ stb 1/2 v boxes and a modem all off 1 drop.

It can cause major noise problems on the line though and effect everybody on the street.
Thus why you shouldnt do it...

Re: Virgin Media - Two Cable Modem's
Anyone who thinks they can get 2 modems or more from Virginmedia, I challenge you to try and order them now! and if successful please post on here to let everyone know.
I think we will get Tumbleweed first ( plus more post saying my mates have got 2 or more ) No One can order a Second Modem for their property as of 5/5/2008.
Do not just post I got a Second Modem, we require written documentary proof from Virgin dated after 5/5/2008.
