ive said this a few times, so this is the last time im sayin this
no its not the end of clones
if u had a ntl 200 modem on a 120 or 100 mac, then yes, your modem is ****ed if you have it on the feed (all areas will be affected within the next week)
you will have to reflash the modem using a willlem programmer to a pre-updated dump, then u will be able to alter the mac (u will have to use a 200 mac on a ntl 200 modem for it to work now)
this is because ntl are forcing incompatible software downloads, the 200 cant run on 120 firmware, hence all the lights going on and off but ntl are makin the 200s download this firmware because no subscribed customer will have a 120 mac on a 200 modem, so they know only the clones will be affected by the forced upgrade
all you need to do is get a pre-updated ntl 100 or 120 and a 100 or 120 mac address, put the mac on the modem, and the modem will upgrade, however it will upgrade to a compaitable firmware so the modem will work fine
the moral of the story is
ntl 200 modems - u must use ntl 200 mac address
ntl 100 120 modems - u must use an ntl 100 120 mac address
p.s it seems only 3mb macs are getting forced to download the new software upgrade at the moment if incompaitable, i.e 100 mac on 200 modem
p.s you can use a 100 mac address on a ntl 120 modem and vice versa
ntl 100 and 120 run on the same firmware.
