Cable Modem/Mac Address Thieves

[Guest]

I've been having massive problems with my internet connection for the past few days, and after many calls with NTL (my ISP) technical support, I was getting absolutely nowhere.

The connection failed on me again about an hour ago, so I called them again. Finally, somebody in senior management twigged what the problem was. Somebody has actually stolen my modem's MAC address (its electronic address/ID), and is and has been using my connection and knocking me off. The guy said whoever it is has got hold of a hooky modem from somewhere and randomly chosen an in-use MAC address, from somewhere, but who knows where. BASTARD!!!!!

I'll be getting a new modem, but I have to wait until Monday.

Apparently the guy has been using it constantly and when he starts massive downloads, that's when I get knocked off the connection. NTL need me to keep hold of the modem for a while, so that they can monitor him and hopefully find where the fuck he is.

So, I have to bear with it for the time being.

It's a known issue, apparently. So, why the fuck did nobody at NTL twig that was the problem, until tonight?

Anyway, I'm gonna use my connection, while I can, but if I'm not around much over the weekend, this is why.

A seriously pissed off Lou

I've just launched a full scale ping war.

Like that will deter whoever it is. I do have an IP address, though, so even if NTL can't bloody trace him, I have.

Good luck Lou! Get Him!

Or maybe let them get him and he'll have to pay for what he's stolen.

How about this. Your ISP gives you a new modem, you give their old one back and they track him down.

Why should you have to be inconvenienced?

Yeah, that's exactly what I said to them! They are giving me a new one, but not until Monday. They don't want him to suspect anything, that's why they don't want to interupt the service. Well, bollocks!

WSO, yes indeed. I'll let them get them, but I'll try to piss him off in the meantime. If he gets suss, tough!

I knew I could count on you, babe.

If (when) I find him, I'll tell him you're coming for him.

[rgraham666]

And I'll bring my skinning blades. Plus iodine.

Get him Lou.

I'd sooner find someone with a bit of nous and give him a DoS.

 

[Guest]

I just lost it (had it nicked) for over an hour again, now it's running painfully sloooooooooooooooow.

I think I'm gonna go watch a film and turn this bloody thing off for the night.

I have someone on the case.

Thanks.

The wanker must've gone to bed early tonight.

I'm phoning NTL again in the morning and telling them this just ain't good enough!

Give us the IP, Lou. I've 4 m/cs and 1 meg bandwidth to play with. Let's ping him to hell!

Unless that'll compromise the real death from NTL...

email me.

NTL don't know their arses from their elbows.

I spent another hour on the phone with them this morning, going round in circles. Apparently this cloning of modems is a known issue within NTL (the guy from senior management there said so last night) but the "tech support" guy - yeah, right! I knew more than him - said it was the first he'd ever heard of it. Grrrrr!!! I asked him why the hell they couldn't block this other person's IP, or something like that, he asked me what I meant by that.

He wouldn't put me through to tech 2 support, said they had no further answers for me. I said that wasn't good enough, blah, blah.

Bah, I'm just fed up with it.

Thanks for the offer of the pinging, but I think it's for the best I leave it as is for now. I've been trying to knock him out, and I might be successful yet. He's messed with the wrong person.

I wish I wasn't a computer retard, cause you know I would be there with you smacking this bitch around.

Lou, can you say "Mac adress" and "Ping war" again, please, this time in a sort of husky voice...

*puts on huskiest voice possible*

Mac address.

Ping war.

That was easy! I've had a cold for a week.

Makes giving blow jobs, um, "interesting", though. Lots of breathless gagging.

Right, Lew?

 

[NoJo]

Ah, yes, the endless sexual possibilites of the sniffles... all of them quite, quite, disgusting.

Well, it is if you're a perv like me.

OK, good luck - and if you need the extra bandwidth, just get in touch.
