Do I get a discount if have a compatable modem when I sign up?
An Optusnet Cable representative has mentioned in the newsgroups that you can recieve a $100 discount on installation if you already own a compatable modem. Presumably this is for people who have signed up previously, or bought one from an ex-customer. This means an Optus-supplied cable modem is worth no more than $99 on the second hand market, and realistic prices would be much lower than that (maybe between $50 and $70).
