Nag 3 & Cable Modem

[tekka84]

To cut a long story short, 13 months ago V1rgin ****ed me off so i told em to shove it when they came to move my old Line upstairs. Anyway when the technician came i gave him an OLD modem back and kept the one i was paying for (the silver model 10mbit)

To this day im still receiving 10mbit from this modem without being charged for it.

When Nag 3 rolls out will it effect this modem or will it still work?

Or is Nag 3 just For the Tv.

Thanks

No, Nagra 3 is the television encryption and will have no effect on modems .

My modem is still going strong....whats the chances of it being switched off now??

was under the impression that n3 was a TV stream Encryption and nothing to do with the Broadband side.

which means your broadband should work even when the N3 switch over does happen.

maybe someone can shed some light on this.

I'm in an N3 area and my modem still works, goes off every month or so but yes they still work.

Sorry i didnt make that very clear.......I no N3 has nothing to do with my modem going off.....i mean i have had it for free for nearly 2yrs and it still aint been switched off by vermin so whats the chances of it staying on for a good while longer?

I've had a couple like this, it depends on how long Virgin keep the sub running at their end. The one I had recently was online for 18 months until the original sub was canceled.
