Frankie,

YES! TOTALLY AGREE.... I think no one will consider to upgrade with
that bloody high price. In fact, a new one only add few hundred bucks.
I think the modem is good but the service of this distributor is very
poor. First time, when I call them and ask whether they have the
upgrade programme, the answer is call you later. Then, I think they
call the hell (no respond). I think they should lower down the price
and give more effort to support it.

:-(
