not here to push it, but its been around a couple of years, ive been using it now for a couple of months, have it on a 1.5mbps cable, works great. Now, OP is wrong, telo has monthly regulatory charges of a couple of bucks. the original core when sold with the scout (what i have) is free for life. Now, seeing as I bought it for 180, if I have it for 2 years, it comes to 7.5 a month for home phone service, so I'm not complaining. For those who bought it 3 years ago....u can do the math. If they go outta biz, then amex gave back money to people on the sunrocket bankruptcy....
