The $240 modem is heavily discounted when you buy service.  I paid $50 for it,
along with a $70 charge for initiating service.  I just got it installed this
week.  I don't have the firewall admined yet, but it works great so far.

I'm planning on reinstalling the machine it's on and it's network isolated as of
now, so I don't care if it's cracked while I'm getting around to it.
