Re: Re: ADSL: Un-locking Sky-branded Netgear Routers

On Sun, 20 May 2007 10:01:43 +0100, "tony h" <me@xxxxxxxx> mused:

i bought a sky router for £8 (ebay), and reflashed to use with vivacity.
well worth it in my case!
took about 2 mins.


Don't Sky retain ownership of the routers they send out, hence buying
them off eBay is technically theft and reflashing them is technically
tampering with someone elses equipment?
