    Hmm, a penny back for each router you buy...Buy a couple hundred thousand of those routers and you'll make a huge profit with them.

    I've honestly had better experience with D-Link than Netgear or Belkin. Either way the support is going to be awful.

    Looks like you can get the same thing cept' on ebay without having to do the rebate stuff.

    It's the same reason most cell companies give new customers a free cell phone, they figured out that they make most of their money with service usage and not equiptment. The offer is for a $100 credit if you buy any vonage enabled device AND subscribe to Vonage service for which the credit gives you a free month(S) not including actual service usage. It's all in the small print, the one you have to click the link in the small print on the bottom to a second small print page and then you look in the even smaller print on that page. If it sounds to good to be true.....

    Vonage isn't an ISP, it's a home phone service.
