you know this gateway topic just goes round and round and round. this is what happens when Rogers refuses to allow the consumer free choice in our hardware selection (discussed 1000 times already). we're like mice in a cage. making the best of an intolerable situation. common sense dictates we should be able to purchase the D3 modem of our choice (discussed 1000 times already). rogers has us on a bit on string. And all the while getting filthy rich off our undesireable situation.
it don't really matter which Gateway is better, they're all flawed when you get right down to it. who cares if the modem component is good when you've just dropped $150 + tax for a Gateway you didn't want to start with.....A top of the line standalone D3 modem will run you $89-$105 any day of the week and they're usually on sale at one shop or another (discussed 1000 times already).......We need to turn the heat up on Rogers instead of attempting to gloss over their unacceptable hardware usage policies.....
