| A Good Deal My friend in Miami signed up with Rapid Systems DSL in Tampa for $49 a month. They waived his $60 install fee and gave him the modem for free. Actually, they waived the $199 charge for the modem provided my friend stays with them for one year. But they do not have any contracts. All he has to do is send the modem back if he cancels within the year. He also got a free static ip and 5 free e-mail accounts with virus scanning and spam control. I think this is a good deal. What do you guys think? |

Minneapolis, MN | Well, you don't mention what bandwidth your friend was promised or is receiving but, on the surface, it certainly sounds like a good deal.
Welcome to the BBR forums, by the way!

I just inquired also, awaiting a response. If there are no contracts, then what have you got to lose, except down time.
