| said by rody_44  :you can use it for data maybe if it isnt listed as stolen that is. True, they could be stolen. I mean if you can't purchase these through retail outlets, where are these sellers getting the eMTA's from?
So I'm guessing it's more of a liability reason that Comcast (or any other CableCo for that matter) doesn't allow you to purchase your own eMTA? For instance, say you cannot call 911 because you purchased a crap eMTA and wired it up with crap RadioShack RG-59 VCR Jumper wires off of gold 4 way splitters. So now you sue Comcast for it...
I can understand that logic. Some people like to buy though to avoid a monthly rental fee. I think Comcast would benefit from a lease-to-own project. After say 3 years of $3 a month, they should call it 'paid off' and stop charging for the rental. |
