Hi Guys

My modem stopped working yesterday (night time), I called my friend and he and couple of other people's also stopped working !! (these are modded modems I'm talking about)

Does anyone know why this has happened ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

May be issues with Virgin in your area at this time, an attack would be more wide spread...

Its quite possible it just the macs that need changing.
I had three modems I did go off in one day.
New macs and back online again.

When you purchase a modem thats ready, ie. firmware already flashed on.. How much info do you have to input, just the MAC address and Config file? I heard somewhere there are particular frequency ranges for different areas?

Cheers 4 any help.

I've just called my friend and asked him to look up some MACs for me > but Virgin has definately changed something because although MACs are appearing (i.e. MAC numbers are there) but the config file name has changed to something weird.
