Frontier Communications’ DSL modem rental fee is now as high as $6.99 a month in some of the phone company’s service areas, $14.99 a month if you want the convenience of a wireless router built-in. That’s $84 and $189 a year, respectively, for equipment that cost the company a fraction of that.

I can go and buy the modem at a store and it would be less than one year of rental

Frontier’s Modem Rental Fee: $7/Month; Wireless Router Fee Now $14.99/Month

This is highway robbery, and yet another reason that I recommend Time Warner over Frontier…  But even so, I would prefer a 3rd option.  Time Warner’s prices are not that great either…

After all, in Jana, 100 Mps is only around $44 – 50 per month, whereas from Comcast, that’s $100 per month…  In France, the same 100 Mps is only $33 per month…
