Pay attention. I was only noting the inappropriateness of ONE of the cross-posted groups.

Verizon is making me buy a "modem", either a wired one for about $35 (IIRC) or a modem with a wireless router for about $15 more ... so I went with the modem with wireless router. I didn't think to ask if it was mandatory that I get the modem from them. Can someone concur whether it's mandatory that I buy the modem (in this case, a modem plus wireless router) from them?

(Fixed the newsgroups to the recommended list.) I didn't realize that we didn't have to buy the DSL modem from Verizon and pay their setup fees. I never had DSL before because I was always more than 18,200 feet from their central office but now I moved to just over 13,000 feet so they said I was within range. As suggested, I called them today at 877-896-3389 to ask the BRAND of modem/router but they only have the automated system available on Sunday, which told me the modem/wireless router already shipped, so I'll know soon enough if it has 4 wired ports or just one or even none as the saleslady told me (which I just can't believe). I will call Verizon DSL tomorrow but can you give me some ammo. Can I refuse the modem/wireless router they send me and just buy my own? |
