We recently had our broadband service upgraded and they replaced the old modem with a new one. We were told to throw out the old modem. Also, apparently it can't be used by someone else because the modem is somehow linked to the old company and can not be activated again.

Is this last point correct? ie the old modem is tied to the internet company and can't be used by anyone else? Seems a shame to bin a perfectly good modem.

Thanks in advance for any advice/info.

I used to have True, I moved condos and had to have TOT, used the same modem. Remember in some modems there are passwords that need to be changed, also from True to TOT there are also some other things that need to be changed. But give the modem to a pal, it will work.

Thanks.

Maybe I'll try to put it to some further use then.
