hi all, need a cable modem.

[maddog]

I have V1rg1n Med1a broadband and tv, but my broadband comes through the stb, is it possible to get a hacked modem and use that instead?

Any help would be great, i have noticed lincsat sells modems so if you read this lincsat i might be interested in buying a modem so email me please.

Thanks in advance.

i used to work for aol and the telewest dept was right next to us, from what i learned a hacked modem used to be ok to use and a blind eye was trned to people who used them, but just now there is a big crackdown on them

and as they can be tracked i have stopped using mine

you can get virgin bb for under a fiver a month now which works great for watching movies over the web etc.

other than that you can get a modded modem on ebay for around £30-40

thanks for your reply,

I already have virgin bb, so im already tied into ther contract so paying £17 pm for 2mb. I could get faster for cheaper on adsl but im not keen on the adsl product as a whole.

If your paying for the service anyway has it not occured to you that all you need to do is ask Virgin Media for a modem

Just tell them you want to use it in another room away from the STB

i have thought of just getting rid of the tv package getting a eurovox and keeping the bb then they would have to send me a modem.

[nanochickin]

Just ask them for a modem, its easier. How long do you honestly think the Eurovox is going to keep working for

Or you could tell them you want to leave and they will put you in touch with the "We don't want you to leave department".

I now pay £20 a month no for TV, Broadband and Telephone with free weekend and evening calls after speaking to them

TBH, you are better getting one from Virgin - I am reluctant to sell modems to Novices, especially with the current counter-measures.
