Dang, $120? after 30 months of owning, it’ll pay for itself. Alot of ppl dont understand that when you get your own modem, we will not give you tech support from then on. We will only make sure the signal is being sent, beyond that you’ll have to contact the maker of the modem. I think the “tech support” is worth the $3.95, but :dunno.
I support whatever you guys all choose to do, but just make sure you can fix your own equip from there on out. or have a good warranty.
