It's been atleast a year...

Are you sure you're not searching wholesales (other ISP such as Teksavvy) which is still mandatory for VDSL2 speed.

CIK is not mandatory.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Internet-DSL-modem-quotbuyoutquot-option-27951240 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 09:21:56 EDT Re: [Internet] DSL modem "buyout" option http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Internet-DSL-modem-quotbuyoutquot-option-27895000 said by HackneyB:

OK, thanks for that .. it seemed relatively new because all the searching I've done in the last week suggested everyone thinks monthly rental fees are mandatory.

The rental is mandatory, but they refer to the one time payment as a rental as well.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Internet-DSL-modem-quotbuyoutquot-option-27895000 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 11:37:39 EDT Re: [Internet] DSL modem "buyout" option http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Internet-DSL-modem-quotbuyoutquot-option-27894005
It wouldn't hurt to ask.

The 2Wire was $49.95 and the Sagemcom was $99.95.

If that's the case, every Bell customer should be throwing themselves at this option if you plan to be a customer for more than 12 months. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Internet-DSL-modem-quotbuyoutquot-option-27892014 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:27:30 EDT Re: [Internet] DSL modem "buyout" option http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Internet-DSL-modem-quotbuyoutquot-option-27891921
You just got caught in the "we won't tell existing customers about this unless they call us" approach.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Internet-DSL-modem-quotbuyoutquot-option-27891921 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:06:25 EDT [Internet] DSL modem "buyout" option http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Internet-DSL-modem-quotbuyoutquot-option-27891528
Is anyone aware of this new option? Sounds worth it to me, even if they are making me pay $50 while I've spent $350 or so on modems (had three) over the last 8-10 years.

Payback time one year..
