Got to love some of their ToS:

========
I agree:

Not to unplug the unit or your ISP’s router unless I’m away for an
extended period of time.
Not attempt to reverse engineer or alter the unit.
To connect the unit in the way described in the documentation.
========

I signed up as BaconZombie with a PO box so lets see if they send me one.
I'm thinking they will be some fun hard-coded universal details in the
firmware since they will make it as idiot proof as possible and it
will be sitting inline { 2 Irish ISP's terminal into a MTU with only 1
RJ45 socket }.

They are looking for 3000 (stupid? ignorant?) people willing to plug a
router in on their internal network to measure the quality of the larger
European ISPs.
The router will download 3GB and upload 1GB a month.
I was contemplating signing up and putting a sniffer on the cable, but I'm
not going to waste my time.
