On a follow on to that - that's where the Belkin surgeboards are great. They generally have a lifetime warranty. And most of them come with a connected insurance as well. The Belkin products are great. I've got the surgeboards all over the place and have gone through about three in the last 9 years and no problems getting them replaced pretty much straight away. Well worth a look. Even for their modems as well (just to stay on topic) :)
