Re: [SLUG] optusnet cable modem.

Hi,

I'm sure you'll be relieved to find it's not true.

If you leave your modem unplugged for a few days you *may* need to call 
up tech support to have your modem reprovisioned which takes a maximum 
of 45min and costs you nothing.

This can easily be confirmed by calling tech support and asking them. 
Anyone who says otherwise is talking complete and utter rubbish.
