HOT?... Linksys Cable Modem Ver. 2 For $50 + Tax, NO REBATE

[LiquidSnake]

linksys Cable Modem Ver. 2 for $50... NO REABTE at Best Buy.

Earlier I posted the same modem for $50 after $20rebate this week@ CompUSA.

Version 2 looks like the routers and hubs to everything stcks up well. So far everything is working well.

If you are leasing a cable modem and you can use this particular one, it's a good price.

TO Automate... sorry for not repling back... didnt even know anyone replied.
I have no idea if it has a web page for diagnostics... not that computer savvy... i just plugged it in and called the cable people and it works.... my friend also has a version 1 of this model and worked all this time without a problem

Good deal if it's with no rebate.

Yesterday I bought the same unit at Comp USA for $69 but I gotta mail in the $20 rebate. I'm taking it back if I can get one from Best buy

Hmmm... $50 to buy my own modem... to save $3 per month on my ATT Broadband Internet account. The savings don't seem worth it - are there any other reasons to buy this modem? Faster? more secure?

I'd like to buy it because it matches my router. Unforutnately I'd like to spend that $50 on a wireless PCMCIA card.

Well, if you have this for at least a year, that is $36, and if you decide to get rid of it you could probably sell it for $30+. It costs me $10 a month to rent a cable modem, so I obviously bought one (months back)......

Let me guess you rent/lease your rotary dial phone as well. Check Office Depot I picked one up for $40 yesterday.

It's $99.99 for me when I look it up on line...what's the deal?

Careful, ADELPHIA cable users, I looked up online at Adelphia Tech center and it mentioned that their system works with A version 1 BUT not Ver 2 of Linksys Cable Modem..not sure if this is true or what models they are referring to, but just noting you should check with your cable company before you buy for compatibility. I would get $5 off for using my own modem, so I will pass for now unless getting a newer modem will add speed?

they're just a bunch of morons. If it's DOCSIS it will work. If you have to, tell them it's a 1.0 to make them happy, give them the MAC and it will work. They call them back and tell them what a bunch of n00bs they are.

really?
my parents have adelphia and I would like to get this for them. But are you sure they will let it work? When I was living there I tried to hook up my Toshiba PCX1100 and they said that it wasnt on the list (Toshiba PCX1100u) was on the list. I told them only difference is the "u" has usb. The techies tried to do it but couldn't set my modem up(I gave them my MAC address and everything..)

I just want confirmation that this will work...

Where are you guys seeing this modem for $50 ? The only one I see here is $99.99.

Is this in the Best Buy newpaper flyer that'll come out tomorrow (Sunday) ?

I'm pretty sure it's over now (unless the drop is permanent, like the Linksys Wireless AP/Router). There's a good chance that your local BB actually temporarily pricematched CompUSA's price with a virtual rebate. That would save them the extra 10% from their 110% pricematch guarantee.

I picked it up on wednesday this week...

Well, if they've actually tried to install one that wasn't supported and it didn't work, maybe they just set up their network very badly :shrug:

I wouldn't try it if in fact they couldn't get another one to work. What a bunch of homos.

Got one yesterday at my Best Buy for $49.95 ver 2.0

 

[Toro 45]

Is this deal over?

Just scored this modem for $49.99 plus tax at the Emeryville store in the Bay Area. Price on shelf was $49.99 but it rang up $99.99. I showed the cashier the shelf price and she adjusted it for me.
