It is a Belkin 4 Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router for $34.99 and then a mail-in $20.00 rebate bringing the total down to $14.99 each. Just need to find a way to get more than one with the rebate!?!?! For the price...I am not sure if you can beat it?!?!? Although...EBAY has a ton of these on there.

I see you have finally given up on the computer counting plan :-) Today, I just found NetworkEverywhere 4 port gatway routers at Wal-Mart for US$39.95. The website http://www.networkeverywhere.com only mentions that it works on DSL so I can only assume that it also supports PPPoE. They also make the cheapest residential wireless gateway routers for those customers that think wireless means that their computer is also wireless :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of The Wirefree Network Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 1:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] OT: Pricing Plans?? Being that I am a pure sB WISP...and I ONLY am a member of this one list...I figured I would throw this question out to y'all. ********************************* Currently, I have 2 plans 1. $39.95 for 1 PC, 1 Gig throughput per month, and up to 1.5 Meg both ways (no real way of limiting the number of PCs) 2. $69.95 for many PC's, 2 Gig throughput per month, and up to 1.5 Meg both ways Now I would like to implement the following: 1. $39.95 for many PC's, 1 Gig throughput per month, and up to 256k both ways. 2. $69.95 for many PC's, 2 Gig throughput per month, and up to 1.4 Meg both ways. This new plan solves 2 problems 1. It is pretty much impossible for me to know how many computers someone has installed on their internal network anyway...so, might as well open it up. At the same time, it will hopefully push clients to purchase the $69.95 plan for the higher speeds and monthly throughput. 2. Using the bandwidth queues, will make it impossible for my clients to take my whole T-1 leaving me unable to manage the network. New problems created: 1. How do I convince my clients to accept my NEW policy? I don't have contracts at all.so technically I can just make a policy change. However, I would rather them welcome it. 2. Would you provide a preconfigured router to all clients?? By preconfigured, I mean statically assigned my network IP, setup for internal DHCP for the client, and such?? Might make installs a bit quicker and solves the IP problem that I currently have---this way I only have to use 1 IP per client?? If I do this, I have to find a VERY cheap source for routers with decent functionality. May even set them up for PPPoE.hmmm??? Any ideas??
