Re: Looks like a good way to get your service canceled
hmmmmm.
ok heres the deal. im with powerlink. well i have yet to try this but as soon as i get home i will.
currently i have 2 cable modems and i am going to shut off the srvice and still get cable. heres how it works. i buy a modem. tell the tech support that they gave me a new modem tell them my new mac adress they ask for the ols one to cancel it out. i tell them a wrong number. they cancel out a wrong number.they still think i have the original modem when actually i have both. now ive canceled the service and the modem that i bought still works. so if im not there cusotmer and they do NOT know customers mac adress. when u call them. can tehy find out who i am? or where i live. i belive they could cancel the modem out but thats the least of my worryies. i only want to change the unbearable u/l speed. |

| I think you'll find it works the other way around... If the cable company sees a modem with a MAC address that they don't know about, they'll disable the modem.
