like most things in life, the ones that brag about it can't do it.
EDIT: all he is actually doing is searching a range of ip addresses, and changing the modem settings of a pc he already knows is vulnerable. it would work on only a tiny tiny TINY amount of pcs, in fact only machines using the same kind of modem, who isn't running a firewall software, has the web interface set up so it can be accessed via the net (very few do by default) and which has the default password set up. finding other machines like that would be near impossible so it's not 'hacking' any internet connection in 10 minutes, it's logging in with a default password on a machine he already has the ip address of.
it's the technical equivalent of walking around the neigbourhood trying everyone's front door in the slim hope that someone has left it open.
he's basically just doing something that requires no skill and claiming he's hacking something - youtube is full of them - they just want to look impressive to people who don't have a clue what they're really doing.

Anything is possible I guess but why would you want to do that?
