When did you sign up?
Pre Feb 13th?
If you got starter pre the above date you got a free promotional Netopia
modem, free installation and your first month free.
The other side of the promotion is Engineer install, free modem, 35 a month
sold in a 45/m fashion with 10 euro rebate for each month somewhere along
the line..
The modem is infact a single port router (modem with built in NAT), plug it
into a switch/hub and your entire network can use it.
