    that you threw away the box, or you just say you have packed it by mistake and its gone to your parents house in (make up a city).. You'll call them when you have it..

    You shouldn't have chucked it out as the equipment provided by VM / NTL / Telewest never belongs to you...

    Basically, if they try and charge you see if you can pick one up second hand off ebay..

    whatever you do DO NOT give them the dodgy box

    here's one in manchester..

    It happened to me once, I canceled my subscription, but wanted to keep the box,
    so when the engineer turned up to collect the box, I told him someone had already been to collect it the day before, he didn't seem to bothered, and I never heard from them again.
