Does TWC allow you to purchase your own EMTA's as well???

Comcast does, but my understanding is NOT in all of their service areas, & ONLY from participating Best Buy's...just did this very thing last month.

At this time there are no approved EMTA's.

At $2.50 a month it has a 2 year break even, but $4, almost 1 year and you are better off w/ your own.

Frontier $7 is the reverse Morris trust tax :) thanks to Verizon.
