You made a mistake alright, did you think your were getting a high
quality modem for $35??? Not all modems are created equal... they range
in price from $20 - $130 and there's a reason for that. I would have to
say that you're at fault here, if you had done your research you may
have been able to choose a better modem. It's like buying a Hyundai and
getting upset that it dosn't perform like BMW.

Tiger Direct sells a lot of "no name" import stuff and close-out
merchandise. There's nothing wrong with that, but you shouldn't buy
anything like that and expect to get the best. Tiger *should* have
responded to your letters though, I agree with you there. Moral to the
story - you get what you pay for.
