So not true

We still have a few hundred customers who have switched to Pilosoft when DirecTV tanked. We've reverse engineered the modem back in the day and actually we posted link to instructions on how an ISP can reuse the modem were posted on BBR before. (It is here www.pilosoft.com/modem.txt)

So, modems are not completely useless. We bought some on ebay a year ago to keep as spares for our customers.

I'm gonna be rich

LOL, I have a sleek 10-X101 in mint condition. I even have the software. I wish I still had the shipping box, I threw that out a few months ago. That itself might have been worth a few thousand;):(:D

Crazy

Who would buy something for that much only to find it doesn't connect to any usable service? I would be extremely pissed if i spent a milion and got nothing usable in return.

I wouldn't spend a dollar on this let alone a milion

Smart? Sure. Thanks! Not only that, I need every penny I got and wouldn't spend it on something unless i know it'd work and i'd get a lot of use out of it like i do with my 69.95 Cable connection.

Re: Oh, nooooooo ...

I still have my Telocity modem. **I'm in the $$, I'm in the $$** If I actually made that kinda money on my modem I'd pay Ashlee Simpson to give up singing "professionally".

Mines Better!

I have the Telocity Branded DSL gateway I still have with the newest DirecTV firmware I would let go for cheap!

I know there was a DSL company in GA that had a way to flash a new firmware on the device to use their service

anyone have a link???, this was the fastest DSL modem I have ever used!

Ebay Fees for a gambler!?

Ebay Charges fees based on your Starting price and Final selling Price, I think the winner is EBAY. If you have money to waste listing something that wont sell at such a crazy price, you can send it to me via PAYPAL and I will save you the Trouble of having to list anything!!;)
