Just wondering if it's a waste of time money and effort to invest in the gear to flash modems?
I heard it wasn't even possible to get them online anymore and if it still is how long on average can you keep them up?
Much appreciated thanks.

And I have heard it also depends on area and if it helps I live in the North-East of the UK in a town called Hartlepool not to far from Newcastle.

hi m8 it mainly depends on wat sort of effort u wanna put into keeping ur modem online , in most cases its not just a matter of just sticking a mac addy on it anymore

I could put a good bit of effort into it, but could you define what effort please?
