If you move slowly when you are carrying a modem that has been active, that's fine with me. Basically a penalty of mistiming your hack.

I'm going to assume you were replying to me even if you weren't.

I'm also going to assume by that you mean that you are forced to move slowly... else the progress gets reset. Which I don't like that. It makes it hard to escape if you are forced to slowly move. Sure, it's a penalty, but the Merc is already in the room if you messed up. Being forced to move slowly to escape when he's aware that you are now holding an active modem and in the room because of it, makes is a little much in my mind.

Though I could see maybe if you leave the area then the modem gets reset regardless. Such as... You're hacking Deftec Objective A, you messed up, and now you're hightailing it out of there. Once you hit the threshold of the center area (outside, whether that be through the "Merc" door, the bathroom "Window", the downstairs storage "Window", or the main entrance double doors) the modem is reset. Reasoning is... it... lost connection (works on Wi-Fi, right? ;D).

Though if this were true then Mercs shouldn't be informed that it has been reset. Just to keep them on their toes. Later killing that player in another area, or in the same area would inform them that the modem has indeed been reset for the previously hacked objective.

Edit:

This also means that the Spy is stuck in that area if they want to continue hacking that spot. If no health boxes are available then they'll either have to get their friend to help, or rock it in sub-par condition. Assuming they got hurt in the escape.

So... a penalty that's more open (in my mind).
If you haven't noticed, I'm REALLY good at making a simple response into a wall of text.
