Practical Peripheral is a company engaging in FRAUD. No problem. I bought 3 PPI Mini Towers as Christmas presents for family members. Before I made the purchase I made sure the dealer was truthful. I contacted PPI to confirm these modems would have a Lifetime warranty and the cost to upgrade would be $49. The deal seemed good so I bought the three as gifts. My brother called me the other day to say PPI has decided to INCREASE the cost of the upgrade to $99 because the upgrade chips have become scarce and the price is warranted by supply and demand. Call them yourself. They not only had a written agreement with me, but a verbal one as well. The verbal contract is legally binding since the consideration from both parties is equitable and thereby enforceable. I tried to execute the contract by contacting them to send the modem in for the agreed $49 upgrade fee. PPI attempted to void the contract with supply and demand horseshit. The contract is not voidable and without my consent is not negotiable. There are literally thousands of these modems out there and all consumers with these modems are being FRAUDED by PPI. Very simple. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
