Hello hi I have a Ambit 250 working with a MAC of 20 MEG and I am also with a broadband package with Virg*n fro my old modem, if I cancel my internet package but only keep my virg*n phone line which will leave me connected to the green box so virg*n cannot cut me off is this right what I am saying please need advise if this will work or not.
Thanks

you could cut off everytihing and the line would be ok for any modded equiptment to plug onto.

So if I just stop my BB package which is £17.00 and is a rip off

but keep a phone line whch I really need will I still be able to get internet through my modded modem or will they cut me off the network.
I relly appreciate your help.

You can cancel everything mate

Its not cost effective for them to send an engineer around to disconnect every cancellation customer from the cab in the street

My sub ended on 10th July and the line is still live

do you have to mask your IP or take any other precautions?

zaidharris · 31-08-08, 10:23 PM

I am just a little concerned that virgin are saying that they will cut me off but I will have to pay £35.00 to reactivate the line so will switching my BB and TV off be okay.
Thanks.
And no you do not have to Mask your IP or take any precautions as I am aware

i dont think they stop the signal.
or ive not heard of them doing it.
they usually take all of their equiptment so you have no access to their services
