It's $47 with equipment rental and such. Yes, it sucks, but that's the best I can find out there for now.

Equipment rental??? That's plain nuts and insane! We don't pay the Telephone Company for a Telephone anymore or a Dial-up Modem, why are people paying to rent a DSL Modem and happy about it??????

This is why I started a New Website last week selling DSL Modems directly to the public. You own it, no rental fees period.

I can't believe this. :Q :| :disgust:
