So you've bought from them many times over the past few years and this
is the FIRST problem you've had? Now you refuse to do business with
them? Listen, plain and simple - you bought a CHEAP $40 modem and you
GOT a CHEAP modem. Why did it take you over 30 days to figure this out?
Take the damn $40 loss and write this off as a learning experience,
because you could use it.

The modem is not a lemon - it is just CHEAP!!
You thought you were getting an incredible bargain and expected it to
work like a top of the line modem. And you were wrong. IF you had
actually taken the time to do just a little bit of research on your
own, you would've known to buy a better modem. I really can't
sympathize with stupidity.
