Is that fake or real? If its real, how does it work? NTL control the MAC addreses dont they?

If it is real, how it works is something that will not be discussed here.


Whoever is selling it is surely breaking the law, and is definitely encouraging those who buy it to violate their ntl contract & steal services. Anyone who uses it will be obtaining services they are not paying for, & so is a thief. Also, if someone were to use an uncapped modem, or chipped modem, etc., I'd hope that ntl would not be unaware of it for very long.


That link should be reported to ebay. I think ntl also have a contact for things like this? (I'm sure they do for reporting chipped STBs, anyway).
