Unless they have physical access to the DHCP server (the server that hands out the IPs needed for internet communication), they can't force a MAC onto the network.
You need the wiring in your building checked.

Re: Virgin Media to battle cloned modems.
So consensus is
1. Get your building wiring checked!
2. Get your building wiring checked!
3. Cloned modems can't cause the issues you are having.
4. Get 'cloners' out of your head
5. Keep Calm & Carry On

6. Oh and don't forget to get your building wiring checked, just in case you missed it the first few times

I can think of one other thing that everyone's probably thinking but is too afraid to say it:
Get your head and tinfoil hat checked

Re: Virgin Media to battle cloned modems.
The point has been made (repeatedly) - let's calm down now, please.

Re: Virgin Media to battle cloned modems.
Have you had the wiring in your building checked?

You have an issue with something that is no longer an issue. Those of us who work for the company KNOW that this is no longer an issue, You have been told this but you still rabbit on and on about it. I have just been and checked the forums that used to be heavily involved in this and the lack of posts on this subject shows that people gave up months and months ago trying to keep there clones on line. May i suggest you find a subject that is more currant that you can get you teeth into. 
To quote a post from last month for instance
