Question How long does connection in cab last after cancellation?

I'm thinking whether to buy a modified modem or the bits to mod one I have. But I was wondering once all services are cancelled, how long is the link in the street cab likely to stay in place?

Thanks

As hinted above, varies from area to area and even engineer to engineer. Some areas will disconnect you within a month or so whilst others dont seem to bother.

If your area is particularly busy with a high turnaround of customers coming/going then your far more likely to be disconnected as the tap is re-used for another customer.
