Also, I wouldn't be suprised if they have hidden installation costs (phone line upgrade etc). If installation is indeed free, it will be interesting to see if they can sustain the business model of renting out modems for free in Pakistan. I'm not sure what the average price is of a dsl modem <a href=http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=dsl+modem&scoring=p&sa=N&start=50>froggle says</a> the cheap ones go for about $40 a pop, so it'd take them atleast 3 months per modem to recover their upfront cost...doesn't sound that bad. quality?Judging by the rate at which images from their website are being downloaded I’d say their service will be pretty slow.
