Virgin media and (probable) s****ed MAC address?

My brother has just got home from work and found he cannot access the internet via his Virgin Media connection, after an hour on the phone with Virgin it turns out he cannot connect because somebody else has already connected with the same MAC address as his Intel NIC, and there is nothing they can do about it - which I find quite odd.

I guess somebody has s****ed their MAC in their modem/router - but the odds must be pretty high that this would happen on the same ISP !?!

Has anybody else every come across this issue?

Cheers,
Sean
