Maybe for you! Last time I tried to solder any electronics I ended up having to throw the whole lot in the bin!

You could always save time and just throw in the bin without bothering to solder

I "used" to be competent at soldering having built many devices in the past (including a colour TV at one stage ) but a lack of sensible things to build (software generally takes over from hardware and increasing integration means there is little left to build that is worthwhile ) means soldering skills are very rusty - still got the equipment but takes a long time now

Will have a go at my ECI modem to see if I can replace my Huwaei one (ECI Cab).

And then throw it in the bin

doesnt anyone sell these pre unlocked?

seems is demand for it but I dont see any on ebay.

I am on a eci cabinet but have a hg modem.

do you know where from? cant seem to find any eci sold at retailers anywhere.

just 2 locked openreach eci on ebay at the moment, and a service offering to unlock eci which requires sending them the eci.

you sure you dont mean hg610? plenty of them.

I already have unlocked hg, but I am on a eci dslam so want eci.

The guy on eBay offering the unlocking service does sometimes have unlocked ECI modems for sale, I bought one, and so did someone else on here.
