Anyone else own their IBS bridge?

I'm not certain but I'm sure I own my IBS bridge. I signed my service contract back in May of 2000 and I remember paying $450 to get started.. 250 was refunded for the Northpoint installation, $49 for the first months service and $150 was for the hardware (the xspeed bridge)... plus or minus a few pennies..

I need to go through some boxes of bill's 'n stuff to find my contract but I'm pretty sure I own that bridge and I'll offer it up on ebay before I send it back to those lunatics (who haven't contacted me every since installation last year)

I Do

Contract shows I paid for service, install and required hardware. It's all itemized. So that letter with the release form will sit ignored in my pile of IBS paperwork.

I own my bridge, too. I signed up in June 2000, and part of the deal was the bridge for the discounted cost of $49.

I saved a print-out of the web page with the details of the contract I signed up for, and also have a copy of the contract. Both confirm that the bridge is mine.

Not that it does me any good, since I now have cable modem. But I'm certainly not sending it back to IBS.

Re: I Do Too

I was a PSN customer and bought a Xpeed SDSL router from them in July, 2000. PSN went belly-up and I headed over to IBS Networks. IBS never sent me a router and instead allowed my to use my Xpeed SDSL router. In short, I never received any equipment from IBS and therefore have absolutely nothing to send back (not that I would have).

It's a pretty blue box with bright yellow lights. Hey, the link light remains on and it still flickers with packet traffic from time to time. I'll leave it plugged in as a reminder of better days.

Same here. Left it active on the wall and random packets would drop by here too.
Just took it down now though to clear room for my Starband.
After all.. I need it working..
