With ours you also get installation and free service calls. I understand what your saying though, unfortunatly in the...

    Its pretty awesome? it depends what your doing, if you just want to browse the web faster, its a waste of money. If you actually download, have multiple computers running at a time ect. then its a pretty nice step up.
