8. Oh but the setup, let us know how that goes

The setup on my Verizon was hours on the phone just to enter the password. Now there would be networking issues. I think someone told me you use a Cable router to connect, then a regular phone router for networking off that. Speed would be about 20x better. But the setup frightens me, and the cost is cheaper, about $10 a month. So a $150 router is almost free after a year.

ZThanks!
