One thing I've learnt over the years. When you choose a modem, never pay
any premium for a "future" feature or upgradability. It's just $$ down the
drain. Never have I found an upgrade or trade-in plan which gives you a
discount for what you've pre-paid.
Having said that, FlashROM is the only thing which comes close, perhaps.
