Getting a Free or Discounted Modem With Naked DSL
We all know that nothing really comes for free. If you get a free mobile phone, you know you are stuck in a contract for a couple of years and probably paying rates higher than what you need to. With braodband and Naked DSL there are few providers offering free modems – but many offer good discounts. If a modem is free, it is usually pretty basic and so you may be better off simply buying the modem you really want.
Here is a summary of what modems the Naked DSL providers are offering.
iinet supplies Belkin modems ranging from a 1 port for $109 up to a 4 port wireless for $279. If you go on a 24 month plan with iinet you are given up to $80 off the price of your modem. They have three modems with differing specifications.
