- My Comcast cable modem crapped out after about 18 months. Took it in and got a new (better?) one. I'll pay the $5/month for that piece of mind. - JaxSean Jul 5, 13:03 10
  - But do you ever think "Today I won't eat out, I need to pay for the modem." (Have you changed your eatting out habit because of the modem and extra - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 5, 13:09 9
    - sometimes I think you and I think very alike. I am like, jax, you wasted $30, and moore's law says that - workmanda Jul 5, 13:14 1
      - The average joe doesn't think at all. I am always surprised to see what people purchase simply because "oh it is only $5 per month, that is super - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 5, 13:27
    - Yes, but not modem or Netflix specific. I've definitely changed my eating habits based on a budget (as well as diet) lately. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 5, 13:12 6
      - are you finding it really easy to economize? I am always stunned when I go on a financial diet how much fat there is in mine. - workmanda Jul 5, 13:17 4
        
        When you don't do it for a while, then go out and realize you just spent $10 on lunch, it's noticeable. - JaxSean Jul 5, 13:19 3
        
        I'm really fortunate that I live in a postage stamp currently. I can't bring anything else in or the windows will explode. - workmanda Jul 5, 13:25 2
        
        Speaking of cell phones, you can get employee discount through most big universities. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 5, 13:29 1
        
        I get 25% through wapo. karen also gets 25% via psu but with bundling and sharing minutes and data, we save 40%. -- nm - workmanda Jul 5, 13:50
      - Cool, it just seemed to me that people don't really change their habits. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 5, 13:14
- I bought mine at WM for $60 and it's fine. my thought was that if I saved a year, it was all gravy. - workmanda Jul 5, 12:33 2
  - Ours has lasted about three years, and it was paid off in 1 to 1.5 years, so it's been good for us. But you raise a good point. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 12:35 1
    - we're not talking about a car, something whose value you realize and appreciate (and show off to your friends) every day. - workmanda Jul 5, 12:37
- I bought mine, so I save $5 a month. I guess not all companies offer that option, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 12:31 1
  - Same here, and I got the full cost of the modem credited on my bill so it was basically free. - Shaun Jul 5, 12:32
- i had a motorolla one i really liked, cannot remember the name of it. got it from buy a few years back -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 5, 12:29
