Are you just "bulltipping" us?

I can't see any auctions in either eBay, nor Yahoo, nor any mention elsewhere about this "modified surfboard cable modem".

I've never used a cable modem, but I would imagine that the Cable Companies would at least have some level of "authentication" to allow you to tap into their neighbourhood bandwidth...no?

Maybe this is legit, but it would be nice for you to provide some further info/links/evidence that this is accurate stuff you're telling us...

This is what I found . The modems are legit but like a Fta reciever it seems to have to be flashed with 3rd party software to work ....
