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.
