How often do you swap your modems - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I'm using haxorware and have been experiencing no probs in the last 2 months or so. My mac is good and haven't had to change config files.

TBH I started off with the intention of using my legit 10mb modem all the time and only using the 20mb for hefty downloads (I usually do weekly downloads via nzb and an astraweb account all at once), but complacency has set in and haven't plugged in my legit modem for about 2 months. Obviously this isn't the way to do it, but was just wondering what others do.

I've spoofed my NIC and router.

Indeed it does. But was just wondering whether using one modem is the right thing to do or whether peeps are helping VM catch them by suddenly plugging in legit modems that haven't been used in months whenever they disrupt the service. Which I'm sure VM monitor such activity.

But surely if you pay for a subbed modem, VM will ask questions if it isn't plugged in and on stream? They will think you are daft paying that money and not using it lol
