Have you thought about leasing the equipment to the customer? I forgot to mention we are getting $40 a month for 768/128.         Terry  ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank M.

Then we are charging $100 for a linksys 4 port DSL route configured. We are then giving back a $200 rebate if the customer signs a 2 year contract or $100 for a 1 year contract. We seem to sell a lot of these with no problem. Of course we do run across somebody every now and then that thinks it to pricey. You compare this to satellite and the cost is within reason. But the service is a lot better than satellite.  Believe it or not we still sell quite a bit of wireless in DSL and cable country. A lot of people are wanting to get rid of their land line and use cellular phones and get rid of cable for satellite. Wireless fills that niche nicely.   This may not work in your area but for us it works really well.   Terry ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank M.
