Baffled

[#1]

Looking through my closed questions I found the following:

Dxxxx Txxxxxxxx - Products - Port Requests 2:18pm, Monday 11 May 2015 Sent 'auto_destroy' signal to component #22966061 (Netgear WNR3500 - FTTP).

What on earth does it mean?  I'm on FTTC.

We've carried out some internal work which involved removing this from customers accounts.
It won't cause anyone any issues as we haven't supplied that router for a long time.

Thanks for the reply.  I'm glad you understand what has happened - can you explain it to me please?  Why was it on my account in the first place?  If I had one and it was online would it have blown up?

Nothing at all would have happened to your account or router. It was simply a tidy up as this 'component' was no longer needed on accounts so it was removed, nothing at all to worry.
