Verizon is selling Modems for $6.49...will they work?

[soarwitheagles]

Hey everyone!

I found Verizon selling brand new modems online for $6.49. How do I know how good they are? And how do I know if they will work with other providers?

This is how they are advertising it:

Verizon Wireless–G broadband Home Router $6.49 + Free Overnight Shipping

Please help me understand if you can.

Thanks,

Soar

First, it's a router, not a modem. Second, the offer expired.

Double Hexagon,

Thanks for the correction! Well, I grabbed several of these routers...are they any good?

And what could I use them for?

At $6.50 I wouldn't put much stock in them lasting a while.

I have no idea if they're any "good". They're cheap 802.11g routers. Why on earth would you need several? They're probably very basic with few advanced features.

i doubt it... they are probably crap.
